The OneAmerica Tower Parking Garage is a parking structure located in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, adjacent to the OneAmerica Tower office building. The OneAmerica Tower Parking Garage features a unique design with sloping exterior architectural precast cladding panels that complement the adjacent OneAmerica Tower, creating a striking visual presence in the downtown Indianapolis skyline.
Coreslab, a trusted provider of high-quality precast concrete solutions, was entrusted with the task of designing and installing the precast cladding panels for the exterior of the OneAmerica Tower Parking Garage. The panels were specifically created to replicate the 30-year old limestone cladding on the Office Tower, and to achieve this, the team took clay molds of the exterior limestone and collaborated with a form liner company to produce a urethane rubber form liner that matched the original limestone cladding perfectly.
One of the most impressive feats of the project was the team’s commitment to maximizing panel size, which resulted in fewer panels required for the entire façade. This approach significantly reduced the erection time of the exterior, and as a result, fewer exterior joints needed to be caulked, ultimately leading to lower maintenance costs over time.
