University of Dayton
Housing Facility
Dayton,
Ohio
Growing enrollment and a shortage of space created the need for a new, 21st
century residential facility on the campus of the University of Dayton.
This 100,000 square foot structural shell, constructed with load bearing masonry
walls and precast / prestressed concrete hollowcore slabs, was completely
constructed within a 10-week time frame in the fall of 2003. Due to the superior
speed of this type of construction the building was enclosed prior to the cold
winter conditions setting in thus allowing other trades to commence their work
in a weather controlled environment, saving time and cost to the overall
project.
