What a glorious day to take a Walking Tour in University City! A bit of architecture history and the evolution of masonry construction from Will Quam. Our stops on the tour included College Hall and Fisher Fine Arts Library on the University of Pennsylvania campus. We transitioned to architectural precast concrete projects completed by Universal Concrete Products such as LeBow College of Business and Chestnut Square Student Housing on the Drexel University campus designed by Voith & Mactavish Architects LLP and RAMSA | Robert A.M. Stern Architects. We finished at The Study, a beautiful example of a thin brick precast facade designed by DIGSAU. Bill Hydock did a great job sharing technical and design considerations when specifying architectural precast. Thank you to the architects that joined us. A special shout out to my counterpart, Sarah Patrie, PE for her support and attendance! AIA Philadelphia #howprecastbuilds
