San Jacinto College Center for Industrial Technology
Tilt-up construction is used as the visible structural element for the new Center for Industrial Technology. Brick and glass are used as infill to express the load-bearing concrete panels. Tilt-up construction is used for both short and long span loads. Panels with integrated concrete columns at the high bay support 10-foot-tall by 110-foot-long trusses. Exposing the structure and mechanical systems allows the college to use the space as a teaching tool for industrial tech curriculum.

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.
