Jesuit Middle School Of Omaha
This structure was built to add classrooms, library, chapel and a commons area to an existing school. The Tilt-Up contractor, Daedalus Construction Co., poured 10.5-inch-thick insulated panels comprising 2.5 inches of fascia concrete, two inches of THERMOMASS Building insulation, and six inches of concrete on the interior. Brick accent strips were used to match the brick in the old school.
The front chapel wall was cast in one piece, approximately 36-feet wide by 28-feet tall. Lightweight concrete was used to reduce the lifting weight of this wall to 30 tons.
The resulting design will allow the school to reconfigure the interior non-bearing walls in any way necessary to meet present and future needs. Kiewit Construction Company was the general contractor.
