This week’s project is the first on the www.ConcreteTracker.org map from Canada (NRMCA only started accepting projects from Canada last week). It comes to us from Concrete BC, NRMCA’s British Columbia affiliate and is a multiple award winner with Concrete BC and the Tilt-up Concrete Association. The primary structure of the Sunset Community Center is composed of tilt-up concrete walls. The intent was to take a technology typically used for big-box construction and push it toward something more meaningful. Comprised of 46 uniquely shaped panels, the exterior panels are insulated, composed of a structural wythe, insulation and an exterior veneer wythe.
