Berkeley Arts & Sciences
Despite a site designed for CMU, tilt-up was ultimately chosen for the Berkeley Preparatory School Gries Center for its speed, cost and flexibility. The project's primary challenge was the amount of panel, nearly doubling the building footprint, and limited areas where temporary casting slab could be utilized. The 119 panels, ranging from 7-1/4 inchs to 12-1/4" inches thick, were cast double and sometimes triple "stacked" in a sequence that allowed erection of panels to be picked one time as they were designed.

TILT-UP ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
The Tilt-Up Achievement Awards were established to honor projects that use site-cast tilt-up concrete to introduce new building types, advance industry technology and provide unique solutions to building programs. Winning entries illustrate the variety, beauty, and flexibility of tilt-up construction.

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.
