HCSS
HCSS selected tilt-up construction for a new two-story, 15,500-square-foot structure on the company's corporate campus. Tilt-up construction provided an ideal solution for connecting the new structure with the existing. The effective use of color, materials and texture was achieved by using concrete, formliners and metal panels to provide architectural interest. A curtain wall system allows natural lighting to penetrate more interior space, creating a visually and thermally comfortable place while increasing building performance and saving energy.
