Hilltop School
Tilt-up concrete construction and a structural steel frame were instrumental in providing an open plan conducive to the flexible learning spaces desired for Hilltop School. Classrooms line the building's perimeter, and large, flexible, open learning areas are located in the center around sky-lit atrium spaces. Tilt-up construction's efficiency and speed made the project affordable in an area where new school construction is often unfeasible for charter and independent schools.

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.
