Masonry Construction 2006 - Best Institutional / College

The 125,470-square foot Fitness & Recreation Complex required numerous masonry materials, including 110,000 utility brick, 130,000 gray block, 5,000 custom color glazed block, 26,000 colored ground face block, and 462,000 pounds of cast stone. The building's showcase is the entryway, with a radius of 80-ft comprised of 14 cast stone/brick piers 64-in. wide and 22-ft tall. The concourse level includes four different colors of ground face block and glazed block at the finished floor.

All exterior walls are cast stone, split face, and utility brick. A clock made entirely of masonry give the project a creative look.

Lang Masonry built their own stone clamps to lift the pieces into place. Hydro Mobile scaffolding was used to set the cast stone and for all the exterior work. An innovative vacuum system saw handled dry cutting of the block.

Masonry Construction 2005 - Best Institutional / College

This project required the mixing of various masonry materials to match the historic decor of a nearly 170-year old campus. The job used 55,000 block, 135,000 modular brick, 8,100 burnished block, 231,000 pounds of cast stone, and 4,300 pieces of Rock Cast.

The building's showcase is the theatre, which features two stories of autumn oak leaf burnished stone accented with burnished sandstone laid around the catwalk and seating area. The Precast archway that serves as the entry point has a depth of 5 feet and consists of two main arches, caps, and bands.

All exterior walls of the 32,000-square-foot building are brick veneer with CMU backup. Corbelling brick soldiers around a top band of the end towers - both recessed and projected - give the overall project a more creative look.
