Kellems & Coe Tool Corporation

Having outgrown their facility, Kellems & Coe decided to build an attractive new facility with a 42,000-square-foot ground floor and a 10,000-square-foot mezzanine.

Instead of using reveals for design on the Tilt-Up wall, Kovert Hawkins Architects, chose to use the Tilt-Up wall as the architectural element, limiting reveals to four two-inch reveals closely spaced at the top of the panels. The result is a very architecturally interesting building, uncluttered by an overabundance of reveals.

The structure is pre-engineered steel with sidewall columns. The walls are all Tilt-Up with full perimeter parapet and internal roof drains. AML was the Tilt-Up contractor.

Three sides of the building are typical Tilt-Up panels with few openings. However, the front elevation is quite complicated, including curved and flat panels, some suspended between adjacent panels and steel columns. In addition, some of the panels project out from the building at an angle. All of the front panels, including the suspended panels, are load-bearing, supporting the second floor mezzanine and roof structures.

The general contractor on the project was KM Stemler. Jake Harmon provided engineering.
