The architectural goal was to not hide the fact that the walls were constructed out of concrete. All panels, interior and exterior were left gray. Simple architectural embellishments were cast-in for the desired results.
Tilt-Up provided all of this, plus an energy efficient durable building. Tilt-Up columns were used on interior office/breakroom areas. Interior signage was cast into the panels.
