Oxford Preparatory School
This school highlights the clean, sharp walls achieved by staggered panel tops and contrasting paint colors. Wide panels were used with staggered panel tops to give the appearance of smaller individual panels. In this project, tilt-up brought simple style to a cost-effective project. Large cast-in letters in the insulated gym wall stand out above a partially freestanding entrance panel. Large canopies with no columns were supported directly by the tilt-up panels.

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.
