Metromont Project Details

Project Overview

An Award of Excellence winner in the ACI GA Chapter’s 2019 Dan Brown ACI Awards, the new 14-story FORTY student housing community located on the Atlanta campus of the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) is an all-precast structure that offers both apartment and suite-style housing for SCAD students.

The ground floor of the 183,000-SF residence hall contains lounge space, residence life office space, and a coffee bar. A terrace located above the ground floor lounge is accessed from the first floor, with tensile sails supported between the residence hall and the outer terrace providing shade for the terrace. The first floor includes a central laundry room lounge, resident director apartment, and student suites.

The upper floors of the residence hall contain a mix of student residential units, providing a total of 592 student beds in the building. The top level serves as a partial story for event space, support space, or a rooftop terrace.

Produced at Metromont’s Hiram, GA plant, the structure is comprised of exterior, loadbearing walls with EPS insulation with a gray color concrete mix and cast-in form liner. The floor and roof are constructed with Metromont’s proprietary MetroDeck precast slab system, which includes insulation cast-in at our plant and a field-applied topping to help transfer diaphragm loads and provide a level floor.

Construction of the SCAD Atlanta residence hall was completed in an amazing six months, beginning March 2019 and ending August 2019.

"The precast concrete design was able to meet the stringent performance requirements of the structure while providing an aesthetically pleasing, sustainable final product at an affordable price point."

"Metromont’s team embraced our idea and got their whole team on board. It’s one thing for sales managers to want to make architects happy, but to have the plant manager, the finishing crew foreman and engineers fully engaged is something else. Metromont was extremely cooperative – the project was a win-win for everyone.”
