RAMSA Senior Associates Silas Jeffrey and Tony McConnell will lead an interactive session at the upcoming Facades+ Conference, presented by The Architect's Newspaper.
Their workshop, "Creating Traditional Buildings on a Budget Using Precast Facades," will cover the unique, applied-stone architectural precast solutions that RAMSA and its partners employed for the recently completed Conway School of Nursing at The Catholic University of America. Designed in a Collegiate Gothic style, the project incorporated stone salvaged from a demolished building.
Tony and Silas will discuss the evolution of this system and the building codes being established by The American Concrete Institute.
Participants will learn about the cost, safety, and sustainability benefits, which include reduced construction times and contractor costs, mitigated on-site fall risks, and tighter building envelopes.
