At Chippewa Valley Technical College’s brand new, state-of-the-art Transportation Education Center, you can drive your future to an in-demand career in the transportation industry. When Molin Concrete Products Company was invited to provide a proposal on this project, the project architect’s plans specified a special form liner and a color scheme that would give the new facility an updated contemporary feel.
Once awarded the project, precast concrete samples made with colors and textures were produced for the architect and owner to review. Being able to see, touch, and feel these samples allowed the owner and architect to better visualize the look of the completed building. After the initial samples, a mockup panel complete with the final color and texture selections and project specific details was produced to further illustrate the overall look.
The 42,600 square feet of insulated architectural precast concrete wall panels incorporate multiple colors and finishes to add depth and character to the structure. An etch finish was selected for the white architectural concrete mix at the corrugated form liner panels, giving depth to the façade. Other wall panels utilized a light and a dark architectural concrete mix with a light blast finish.
In addition to the architectural precast concrete wall panels, Molin produced 1,600 square feet of solid precast concrete wall panels and 7,800 square feet of hollow core plank. Throughout the process, Molin’s project manager and field superintendent coordinated site access, crane and trucking logistics, safety, and installation plans to ensure installation was completed on budget and on schedule.
