Basketball Development Center, University of Connecticut

Project Name: Basketball Development Center, University of Connecticut
Location: Storrs, CT
Architect: Populous Architects
Material: 3 mm Aluminum
System: TAKTL Plank Panels
Construction: 2013-2014
Area of Panels: 6,000 sq. ft.

The project was a 78,000 sqft basketball practice facility and Hall of Fame designed by Populous Architects. The building design featured two prominent elements clad in textured Ultra High Performance Concrete ( UHPC ) from TAKTL. The architect wanted a concealed fastening system for the plank panels so the reed texture would appear uninterrupted. Rainscreen Solutions LLC designed and provided the panel sub-frame and custom clips to conceal the mechanical fasteners and allow for independent installation of the panels.
