The eight-story, 94,000-square-foot medical office building had cracking over its entire face. 

The original precast masonry panels, constructed with a corrosive additive, could not be restored and the entire facade was demolished down to the top of the lower piers and rebuilt. 

Vertical masonry was reconstructed with steel stud back-up while the sloped panels were replaced utilizing ½"-thick sandwich panels of aluminum sheets with a composite core.
