The owner’s expectations spurred the design a new tilt-wall system that was ultimately patented: Clearview Composite Wall System. The 3-story, 45,256 square foot building’s budget demanded the use of a cost-efficient tilt-wall structure, but the owner objected to the “punched window” appearance of traditional tilt-wall. Together, METRO and the project engineer, Davy Beicker, developed a system for pouring concrete panels on steel columns that, when hoisted, provided a continuous band of uninterrupted glass. The building was situated on 2.5 acres, a site made more efficient by placing the required storm water detention and filtration system under the parking lot. The attractive building was completed in 10 months.
