Join Mid-States Concrete and PCI of Illinois and Wisconsin’s Executive Director Joe Lombard for an exciting new CEU Webinar: Precast Building Podium Design.

A building’s primary goal is to protect the lives, lifestyles and livelihoods of its occupants. Precast concrete podiums have numerous qualities that can help buildings perform efficiently and offer occupants and communities healthy, flexible and useful spaces that can be effectively utilized over many years.

This webinar will discuss precast podium considerations for the design and construction of durable, long-lasting structures that are sustainable, safe and resilient. Attendees will have the chance to see and hear case studies of projects that used precast concrete podiums for durability, resilience, and sustainability, and examine important qualities and attributes to consider when specifying the material.

The following learning objectives will be covered:

Define the concepts of resilience and sustainability with a focus on design and long-term lifecycle performance.
Analyze how material choices impact the safety and wellbeing of occupants over the life of the building and future design concepts.
Explore opportunities where sustainability, resilience, durability and efficiency intersect.
Identify how precast, prestressed concrete can contribute to designs that are sustainable, efficient, durable and resilient enough to protect the lives, livelihoods and lifestyles of occupants and communities.
Examine case studies of sustainable, resilient and safe projects that effectively utilized precast concrete to achieve their goals.

Attendees will receive 1 AIA LU/HSW for attending.

The AIA Iowa Fall Convention is slated for Thursday, September 29 and Friday, September 30 at the Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center in Des Moines, Iowa. Please stop by Booth 57 and say hello to Troy Yaun, Preconstruction, and Tara Loomis, Senior Structural Engineer! They’ll be giving away some water bottles, tote bags, level pens… and some serious precast knowledge.

The theme of this year’s convention is Advocate! AIA Iowa shared: “As surely as our work is a fundamental part of the world around us, it has the potential to address the many challenges the world faces. Some of these challenges are brand new, while some are generations old and only just now receive the attention they necessitate. This year, we would like to focus on advocacy during our convention, to take on these challenges.”

Design teams are such an important part of the success of any project. It is a privilege to partner with some of the best around. We look forward to seeing you there and learning about your latest projects.
