The Connecticut Concrete Promotion Council, in coordination with the Connecticut Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, is pleased to announce a half day symposium on ready mixed concrete and the use of insulated concrete forms (ICF’s) in multi-family residential and low rise commercial construction. The ICF Symposium will be held Tuesday, April 24th at Connecticut AIA headquarters in New Haven. The half day session will include presentations by locally known architect and ICF expert Leigh Overland Architect, Gregg Lewis of the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, and various ICF manufacturers showcasing projects using ICF’s in their construction. Current scheduled manufacturers include BuildBlocks, Fox Blocks, Nudura and Quad-Lock. A panel discussion and questions from architects on ICF design and construction will follow the presentations.
Connecticut AIA Executive Director Gina Calabro says, “Our AIA members have requested more information on the design and specification of ICF’s in their projects. We are excited about this half day symposium.”
Dominic Di Cenzo, Executive Director of the Connecticut Concrete Promotion Council remarks, “We appreciate the Connecticut AIA’s interest in insulated concrete form construction. ICF construction is becoming a popular solution in multi-family residential and low-rise commercial construction. This system provides contractors and building owners durability, fire resistance and ease of construction. In conjunction with speakers from the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, Leigh Overland Architects and representatives from some of the major ICF manufacturers, we expect to have an informative and entertaining presentation for Connecticut architects.”
