The Western Carolina University Lower Campus Residence Halls in Cullowhee, North Carolina was built with an unique precast concrete floor system. The producer, Tindall Corporation, designed the floor system to compress the construction schedule by considering mechanical, electrical, and plumbing needs as part of the design and manufacture of the precast concrete components. Building Information Modeling was also part of every phase of the project, which led to a first-of-its-kind structure. Tindall Corporation was also the PCI-certified erector. https://lnkd.in/gDADvKFS.
