American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP)
The American College of Emergency Physicians' new headquarters consists of a uniquely shaped three-story tilt-up office space. Due to the radius shape of the north and south walls, the panels' edges had to be beveled to maintain a clean caulk joint. The U-shaped entry panel, which was supported on 6-foot-wide integral legs, was tilted without cracking or snapping a leg due to careful engineering and reinforcing. In addition, the project team overcame site constraints of close proximity to a major airport and a service road.

About the Tilt-Up Concrete Association
Founded in 1986, the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) strives to improve the quality and acceptance of site-cast Tilt-Up construction - one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, combining the advantages of reasonable cost with low maintenance, durability, speed of construction and minimal capital investment. Over 10,000 buildings, enclosing more than 650 million square feet, are constructed each year using this construction method.
