Connection Park
Project summary provided by submitting company.
Connection Park is a combination of two office buildings located outside of Dallas in Irving, Texas. Our challenge was to design a building as flexible as possible for a diverse market near Dallas / Fort Worth Airport. The solution was a three and a half story building constructed using tiltwall panels. The additional 4th story adds an extra 23,000 square feet of rentable space offering exclusivity within the building for executive uses. With a column free tiltwall skin we were able to achieve a typical floor plan with 12 exposed columns for a full floor tenant and only 4 exposed columns with multi-tenant corridor built out in a 42,000 sf footprint. Whereas conventional class A buildings of similar footprints in that market carry up to 44 exposed columns. The building also has a 40% glass to wall ratio which competes with and in most case beats conventionally constructed class A precast and curtain wall buildings in this market.

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.
