St. Anthony High School

The 29,444-square-foot educational addition to St. Anthony High School received tremendous community support. Tilt-Up was selected for its speed, strength and thermal properties.

Judges maintained that the integration between Tilt-Up and glass was effective. Further, the successful balance between exposed concrete and brick make the project worthy of this award.

Numerous offsets and corners, as well as two elevations of embedded steel for connections of mezzanine and roof structures, added to the complexity of this project. The building has a tremendous amount of window and door openings that are curved. Four different panel thicknesses were used throughout the building. Panels had to be stack-cast three high, because only a minimum amount of floor space was available.

Brick or EIFS was used on the exterior, but most of the interior walls will be painted. The addition created a secure entrance, with more classroom space, a 400 seat multipurpose room, and a 2,100 seat gymnasium.
