University of South Florida Pelican Apartments

The seven-story total precast concrete structure located on the Gulf Coast offers design flexibility and the best line of defense against fire and hurricane force winds. The total precast design offers a cleaner, safer and more environmentally friendly work site. The exposed double tees and interior precast walls were painted, eliminating the need for drywall and proving an economical, durable and aesthetically pleasing finish – a perfect solution for student housing.

 

“The load-bearing precast concrete walls and double tee floor system offer durability, sustainability and the economics of the single element system. GATE shaved weeks off of the original schedule by completing the structure from foundation to top out in less than two months.”
