Due to the growing enrollment of school age children and the continuous aging of existing educational facilities in North America, a high demand has evolved over the last few years for new schools. In response to this new demand, precast / prestressed products have become an increasingly popular choice of material for these facilities due to high material quality, quick speed of construction, low maintenance costs, superior aesthetics, and expandability.

Further, with safety being such an important issue in today’s society, precast / prestressed products have proven to be even more valuable. Precast offers built-to-last exteriors and interior walls that can withstand heavy use and extreme weather conditions. It is made from non-combustible materials and meets all fire-code stipulations. Also there are fewer joints than masonry products, which prevents moisture penetration and the growth of mold.
