Wells Concrete was awarded the Gilbert High School Auditorium project in Gilbert, Iowa with Harold Pike Construction(HPC). DLR Group (Des Moines, Iowa office) is the architect of record and remained open to precast as an alternate system for the Auditorium portion of the project if it helped the budget. With the precast alternate bid for wall panels, coupled with other low bid divisions, the design team will have budget dollars available to finish out the auditorium, which was initially planned as shell space.
Wall panels are designed with a combination of thin brick with sandblast and water wash and ‘Gilbert’ distinctly cast-in to one side of the auditorium. Wall panels will be produced in Wells Concrete’s Wells, Minnesota plant.
