Downtown Normal’s unique multi-use building houses an Amtrak station, waiting areas, food court, retail, and municipal offices. LAPPCO supplied 134 precast panels for the adjoining parking structure, totaling 29,000 sq. ft. Precast seamlessly integrates with other methods, exemplifying versatile construction.

A construction marvel, this building showcases precast concrete’s benefits. Despite Chicago’s harsh winter, the brick-faced panels allowed continuous construction, finishing on time and saving costs. The 51,000 sq. ft. original building and 18,000 sq. ft. addition, both completed by LAPPCO, feature a total of 491 precast panels.

A testament to LAPPCO’s prowess, this 30-story condo in Chicago’s prime neighborhood showcases complex precast panels. The top stories feature simplicity, while the first two demanded intricate panels with granite and limestone surfaces. LAPPCO exceeded expectations, impressing both owners and architect.

A notable feature of this parking garage is a 10-story precast column, housing a revolving kinetic sculpture at the building corner—a distinctive addition to Chicago’s public art scene.

10 East Delaware, a 35-story luxury high-rise in Chicago’s gold coast, stands at 424,836 sq. ft. LAPPCO’s expertise in challenging sites played a key role in its selection. The building features diverse precast finishes, including cast stone and granite on the first floor panels.

LAPPCO faced a unique challenge: crafting a custom color and finish to match a historic structure. Successfully accomplished, showcasing LAPPCO’s expertise in complex building projects.

The Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned museum, expanded with the internationally acclaimed Renzo Piano. LAPPCO, the sole precast plant selected, crafted intricate load-bearing panels and multiple finishes, meeting precise specifications on time.

This twin office building is a unique project with horizontal ribbon look, precast panels with large expanses of windows. The panels were acid-etched.

Amcol International’s headquarters, primarily precast, chosen after a competitive bid by LAPPCO for their lowest bid and reputation. Precast panels, prestressed for structural integrity, feature golden marble limestone.

Located just west of Chicagos loop this high-rise required an escalated construction schedule. The project consisted of two color precast panels with two finishes-one acid etch and the other sand blast. Project completed on schedule.
