Precast Benefits
In addition to its sustainability goals, precast concrete offered significant cost savings relative to other materials under consideration during design, which allowed the project to remain within budget. The versatility of precast allowed the designer to use color and character that could be harmonious with the surrounding historic city buildings, further contributing to the building’s civic presence.
With its 10 stories, 1,025 architectural precast façade panels, and 500,000 square feet, the new police headquarters stands as a testament to the power of precast concrete.
