Located in Asheboro, North Carolina, the Uwharrie Charter Academy High School is a STEAM school that was seeking to update its career academy space and offer students new classes in culinary arts, auto tech, welding, and construction trades. The school needed a building system that was cost-efficient, durable, and could meet its aggressive construction schedule. The Metromont team worked with Randolph County Schools and the design team to develop a total precast design that would receive top grades for the project.
The 109,600 SF project includes a 98,978 SF total precast concrete STEAM high school and career academy and an administration building. The high school building includes new classrooms, athletic facilities, and high-tech equipment. The updated career academy provides spaces for Uwharrie’s new class offerings, allowing students to explore different classes and determine their future career paths.
A total of 607 precast concrete components were produced at Metromont’s Greenville and Spartanburg manufacturing facilities for the project. The total precast structure features an exterior form finish painted by others. A total precast design was selected for its cost efficiency and ability to meet the school’s aggressive construction schedule and desired opening date. Precast construction began in (mo/year) and the school opened for students in August 2023.
