Complete Story
The key construction requirements is for flexibility -- the labs have to be flexible enough to accommodate changes in medical technology and in research programs, and to facilitate multidisciplinary research efforts.
Pre-cast concrete and brick, chosen as the building facing materials, can adapt to the curves of the building. Forming the concrete curves proved to be a challenge. The search for the right expertise led the contractor, High Concrete of Denver, PA, to solicit bids from boat builders who are accustomed to working with complex curves. The contract was awarded to Seaway Yacht Company in Daytona Beach, Florida, which fashioned fiberglass molds and shipped them to the site for casting.
