High Performance & Resilient Precast Educational Facilities
April 23, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
*1 HSW*
HOSTED BY: The Regional Chapters of PCI
SPONSORED BY: Georgia/Carolinas PCI
PRESENTED BY: Peter Finsen, FPCI, Assoc. AIA
Executive Director & CEO of Georgia/Carolinas PCI
Description:
The evolving construction industry, recent code changes, increasing sustainability requirements and challenging economy are just some of the factors increasing demand for safe, healthy, high performance educational facilities. Today’s schools are more than just buildings; they are interactive learning environments. They are gathering places. They are safe havens for the community. This presentation will discuss recommendations on how to design and build high performance, sustainable and resilient schools, with reduced life-cycle costs. The benefits of prefabrication and off-site construction will be identified in the context of precast/prestressed concrete architectural and structural building solutions. And case studies will highlight high performance attributes – including optimization of numerous versatile, efficient and resilient building applications.
Learning Objectives:
1. Define high performance structures and identify key attributes and benefits of high performance and sustainable learning environments educational facilities.
2. Explain basic approaches to high performance and resilient school design using precast concrete.
3. Promote the concept of functional resilience and its importance in educational facilities.
4. Learn how prefabricated, integrated architectural and structural precast concrete design solutions contribute to life safety features including: fire safety, storm resistance, acoustics and indoor air quality.
5. Share how off-site construction and prefabricated manufacturing with natural, low-embodied energy materials contribute to life cycle design, accelerate construction, reduce site disturbance and waste, reduce transportation of materials and provide easier coordination of trades.
6. Describe concepts to control cost and quality, reduce maintenance, and meet sustainable design goals.

Shout out to Ricci Builders for an amazing project tour of one of their homes currently under construction. This project utilizes dozens of unique and sustainable building techniques that are second nature to Josh Ricci & his team and will be featured later this fall in the Winston-Salem Parade of Homes. ![]()

AIAWS had the first event for our 2024 #ACTIVATE Community project! We're partnering with Crossnore Communities for Children for a Design-Build Project. Together with their staff & the kids, we're designing and building an incentive cart to be used on campus, bringing art supplies, ice cream, hot chocolate, and more to all the kids on campus. ![]()
This event was the design portion, and seeing the kids bring their ideas to life on paper was so exciting! Their imaginations were endless and their creativity was unmatched! We can't wait to come back on campus and build & decorate this cart with them!![]()
Thank you so much to all of our volunteers and our sponsors for helping us make this event possible!![]()
