Project Overview

The Skyline College Student Support & Science Annex, a collaborative design by Steinberg Architects and Fentress Architects, stands as a testament to the innovative use of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC). Constructed by Hensel Phelps Construction Co., the project exemplifies the advantages of GFRC in creating durable, aesthetically pleasing, and low-maintenance structures.

GFRC was selected for its lightweight properties and ability to be molded into intricate shapes, allowing the architects to achieve their vision without compromising on structural integrity. The material’s flexibility in design enabled the creation of unique architectural features that enhance the building’s modern aesthetic while ensuring long-term durability. 

The use of GFRC also contributed to a faster construction timeline, as the prefabricated panels were easy to install, reducing on-site labor and minimizing disruption. This efficiency is particularly beneficial in educational settings, where project timelines are often tight and adherence to schedule is critical.

Overall, the Skyline College Student Support & Science Annex project highlights the strengths of GFRC in educational construction, demonstrating how innovative materials can be used to create functional, sustainable, and visually appealing buildings that meet the needs of modern academic institutions.
