Design Efficient, Cost Effective, and Streamlined Construction

The 3333 Scott Road Office Complex consists of eight individual buildings - one 2-story, three 4-story, one 6-story, and three 8-story buildings - all totaling more than 1.2 million square feet of office space. All eight buildings' exterior facades were clad with Thinshell Precast and Curtain Wall Glazing. 4' 0" wide Thinshell Precast panels were used to break up and divide sections of curtain wall and non vision glass. The Thinshell is typically located over the vertical structural steel columns and in most cases the perimeter floor beams. The duplicatable form work and panel sizes made this project a very efficient and cost effective design. Cost effective Thinshell does not mean sacrificing quality or long-term durability. It means low maintenance, speed and ease of installation, and a strong impact-resistant skin. All of these advantages, along with the many colors, textures, and form liner options make Thinshell Precast a great choice for any project.
