First Baptist Dallas is located in the heart of downtown Dallas. The building has four primary façades. The majority of the east, west and south exposures feature a pre-insulated, custom-designed precast concrete wall system, which is both aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient. The 275,000 SF church is comprised of a worship center, children's education building, skybridge, connecting concourse and parking garage.

The biggest challenge of the project was finding a highly thermally resistive material for the harshest sun exposure areas that would be aesthetically pleasing as well as durable.

"Insulated precast concrete panels were the best choice for achieving these goals."
