What began as an aging strip mall is now a 105,000 SF, three-story facility built on an accelerated schedule to align with adjacent hotel renovations. Fabcon’s total precast system delivered strength, speed, and precision — from insulated architectural wall panels with dual etch finishes to 16” hollow core planks supporting heavy training loads and a green roof. A clean, efficient structure that showcases the future of aviation training and the versatility of precast concrete.
Total Precast
Republic Airways Training Center
This new state-of-the-art training enter takes flight with total precast.
”When it came to selecting a material that would meet all three criteria of cost, quality, and time, precast was the obvious choice. Fabcon was able to produce and release the structural and enclosure shop drawings before the interior design was completed, allowing for fabrication and delivery three months after the first design meeting. Precast allowed for a comprehensive building material that checked all of the boxes.
