Tom Glenn High School
Tilt-up construction was used throughout the entire campus of Tom Glenn High School to achieve a durable, attractive wall system that's also energy efficient and cost effective. Flexible space afforded by tilt-up construction will allow teachers to collaborate and incorporate technology effectively. The creative use of insulated exterior tilt-up panels create an energy-efficient envelope as well as solid, load-bearing tilt-up panels to support the structure and create sound barriers.

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.
