Cumberland Elementary School

A school district in Cumberland, Ontario needed a new school on an extremely tight schedule. By using site cast tilt-up concrete wall panels, the design-build team constructed a new, attractive educational facility in just six months - just in time for the academic year to begin. The new 55,000-square-foot school is aesthetically pleasing, cost effective to build and energy efficient. Two complimentary cast-in thin brick colors give the school a traditional appearance. When compared to a conventional brick and masonry construction school of similar size, this school uses 23% less electricity and 35% less natural gas on a daily basis, which translates directly into operational savings for the school district.
