Erie Police Department
The Erie Police Department and Municipal Courts building is an 18,200-square-foot single-story tilt-up building. The project was severely over budget as a steel frame and masonry building. When tilt-up was introduced, a total of $600,000 in savings were realized. A horizontal formliner was utilized to simulate the block horizontal lines. Other features include an innovative design and bullet-proof walls in this building that showcases the architectural possibilities for tilt-up.
