Project Information
When this project was developed, it was the largest tilt-up structure ever built. This 1.7 million square-foot building can fit 34 football fields inside, yet construction of this enormous facility was completed in 195 working days. Nearly 1,000 tilt-up panels weighing 56 million pounds were used.
Award Information
Each year the Tilt-up Concrete Association holds this awards program to honor several tilt-up projects that show outstanding achievement in “Design and Construction Excellence and Creativity.” The judges - a group of architects, engineers, and contractors - evaluate the numerous entries based on the following criteria:
- Quality of construction
- Aesthetic appeal
- Creativity of structural and architectural design
- Efficiency of material utilization
- Suitability of the building to its environment
- Unique application or end use
Emphasis is placed on tilt-up projects that introduce new building types, advance industry technology, or provide a unique solution to a building problem.
