Concrete Today
The
Quest for Sustainable Construction Methods
The 470-story Hearst
Tower in Charlotte, NC, features nearly 300,000
sq ft of architectural precast concrete panels
cladding its exterior, which feature a light-colored,
sandblasted finish designed to simulate natural
stone. A special window-unit panel was designed
to allow the panels to span floor-to-floor, reducing
the number of pieces that needed to be cast and
erected by several hundred. The project was designed
by Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart &
Associates Inc.
