Notable Concrete in Philadelphia
The base of the Linear Accelerator (LINAC) enclosure, consisting of 220 yd3 (168 m3) of concrete, was placed and finished as a single operation, self-performed by Wohlsen. The concrete walls and roof are 5 ft (1.5 m) thick around the perimeter, increasing to 7 ft (2 m) thick at the location of the LINAC machine. They included 17 tons (15 tonnes) of reinforcing bars and 390 yd3 (298 m3) of concrete. Wohlsen also self-performed the reinforced concrete roof construction. This high-profile, innovative project minimized costs and maintained a safe and clean site, resulting in an advanced-technology medical facility. The 800 concrete panels were made with white cement. The building features a 3 ft (0.9 m) band of panels resembling terrazzo at the base. Panels above the base have a texture imitating natural stone, created using scoring and sandblasting. Each of the 628 housing cells includes a slit window, beveled on the exterior for prominence.
