Lafayette Parish Public Safety Complex
The Safety Complex consists of four different buildings all in close proximity to one another. The project was design build, with insulated tilt-up walls. Only a few panels were load bearing. All panels were cast on temporary casting beds so that other crafts could be working on the floor slabs while panels were being cast.
