Tradition, Reimagined
The new colonnade wall at the world-famous Churchill Downs racetrack provides better pedestrian flow and improves guests’ entry experience as well as provides added security. The existing structures have an architecture unique to horse racing facilities that are instantly recognizable with their historic details and grand scale.
The existing buildings at Churchill Downs are constructed using white brick with ornate details and in the language of historic race facilities. Precast’s ability to incorporate matching thin bricks with concrete trim elements mimicking natural stone is a key accomplishment in the design and construction.
