This 450-foot-long building creates a low profile along this busy highway and industrial area. Constructed of precast-concrete tilt-wall panels, this inexpensive and speedy building technique is the one favored for contemporary big-box stores. The architects took care to differentiate the building with irregularly stained washes of earth tones and broken by clear, fixed-pane vertical windows.
