For the facade, Saavedra Gehlausen Architects approved the Ductal® Cladding solution offered by the precaster as an economical alternative to two options presented by other manufacturers. The external cladding, covering a total area of 280 m2, is comprised of approximately 200 precast Ductal® panels, each approximately 60 cm x 213 cm and just 1.27-cm thick - with an attractive terracotta finish, as required by the architects. The panels were installed by the precaster in November 2014, using a special hidden fastener system.
