About the Event
Course Description: This course will provide architects and engineers an overview of how to specify, design, and construct schools using architectural precast concrete. It begins with an overview of the recently updated PCI Certification Standards for specifying architectural precast. It also covers the aesthetic capabilities of precast and how it can contribute to the project's design concept. It touches on the high-performance capabilities of insulated precast walls. The course concludes with examples of a few recommended best practices to use when designing with precast, outlining how early engagement with a precaster can benefit the design team and ultimately the owner / end-user. This seminar is good for one AIA CEU counting toward HSW requirements.
