UW Health chose total precast for their parking garage because of its many benefits and value – a fast construction schedule, combined with quality finishes and a competitive price. To easily match the architectural finishes of the total precast parking garage, prefabricated architectural cladding was used on the exterior of the medical center – integrating existing finishes to create a uniform look across the campus. A combination finish incorporating pigmented off-white acid-etched cement and modern projected architectural elements creates a high-quality look for the facility.

The project wasn’t without challenges. The structure utilizes extremely complex pieces that required a CNC machine to accurately build the forms for casting. Additionally, designing and segmenting the pieces around window systems required engineering expertise to ensure long-term performance of the structure.

The UW Health Eastpark Medical Center is a prominent view from the freeway, showcasing the high-end architectural capabilities that Wells offers to anyone who drives by. The medical center and parking structure is a state-of-the-art facility, serving families across the Midwest.
