Condell Medical Center - Libertyville, IllinoisCondell Medical Center - Libertyville, Illinois

Load-bearing precast concrete panels were specified to clad the facade of the Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, Illinois for several reasons. By supporting their own load, the panels reduced the slab load and minimized interior columns, saving material costs on both the slab edging and interior. Also, designers were unsure during which time of the year the facade would be constructed. Using precast panels ensured that we could do it in any weather. If you can generate repetition or have to build in winter conditions, precast makes a lot of sense.
