Washington University Farrell Learning & Teaching Center
Leonard Masonry completed a high-quality installation for the Washington University Farrell Learning & Teaching Center that incorporated 300,000 bricks, eight truckloads of limestone and two containers of granite. The building’s exterior is composed of Beldin brick with limestone windowsills and accents above a granite base. The brick veneer incorporates specialized vertical control joints to regulate expansion and movement. The east elevation includes a larger concentration of stone set into a glass curtainwall system.
Leonard Masonry meticulously hand carved the building’s name over the main entrance and on a freestanding sign. Craftsmen also cut 1-foot-thick granite caps for the piers lining the sides of the exterior steps. The entrance features brick pavers in the nearby hospital’s typical pattern and a granite floor pattern. On the interior, the masonry contractor installed granite steps leading to the second floor, countertops in serving areas and limestone bases.
Completion Date: August 2005
