SMC is pleased to supply its SlenderwallÂŽ architectural precast concrete panel system as the exterior cladding for the renovation of the 9-story Nelson Harvey inpatient facility on the Johns Hopkins Medicine Baltimore Campus. http://www.smithmidland.com/slenderwa... After decades of wear, the hand-laid brick envelope of the facility began failing. The architectural firms Wilmot Sanz and Ayers Saint Gross needed a solution that met two criteria: one, that is was lightweight enough to prevent any need for additional superstructure or foundation costs; and two, that the facility would be able to stay operational during the exterior renovation. SlenderwallÂŽ met both requirements. Valued at approximately $1.9 million dollars, this project will have 158 SlenderwallÂŽ panels (27,164 sq. ft.) designed with a factory-applied Endicott brick facing, keeping in continuity with the campus and the original 1970's exterior.

SlenderwallÂŽ met both requirements. Valued at approximately $1.9 million dollars, this project will have 158 SlenderwallÂŽ panels (27,164 sq. ft.) designed with a factory-applied Endicott brick facing, keeping in continuity with the campus and the original 1970's exterior. Johns Hopkins also chose to include factory-applied closed-cell foam insulation and Smith-Midland's proprietary H2Out advanced sealant system with leak detection. The addition of these options will provide not only savings in time and on-site trades, but insurance against future air and water infiltrations. In March 2013, SMC began delivery to the contractor, Whiting-Turner. Completion of production is set for June 2013. The short schedule showcases the benefits of SlenderwallÂŽ in reduced times and costs for production, shipping and installation, as well as decreasing the need for some on-site trades.
