Toho Water Authority Administrative Headquarters
The Toho Water Authority Administration building is the new home of the Tohopekaliga Water Authority, the largest provider of water, wastewater and reclaimed water services for Kissimmee, Poinciana and Osceola counties in Florida.
The building boasts several TCA superlatives, ranking ninth on TCA's Top Ten Widest Panels list, second on the TCA Top Ten Heaviest Panels list (330,000 pounds), and ranking first on the TCA Top Ten Largest Panels list with 2,950-square-foot panels.
The large, heavy panels required two cranes working in synchronization with ground crews to place, and the small site and limited space presented even greater challenges.
The finished building displays intricate rustication and architectural detailed recesses to provide a modern look. The Toho Water Authority Administration building earned a LEED Certification for its use of recycled concrete and regional materials.
