Cal Poly’s $96M Frost Center harnesses the raw strength of steel-reinforced concrete, turning structural necessity into high architectural art. To meet the hyper-strict vibration demands of 22 state-of-the-art wet and dry labs, engineers utilized a massive 12-inch concrete flat slab and 2,000 cubic yards of Self-Consolidating Concrete. The poetic irony? Tons of structural mass were deployed to create a sense of weightless, open, and light-filled interdisciplinary flow. Read how this award-winning, steel-reinforced concrete masterpiece solved a complex hillside puzzle and set a new gold standard for institutional design: https://bit.ly/4ufJ61x
