The 54,414 SF facility features sandblasted concrete panels with form liner accent walls and an open metal canopy at the entry for a streamlined, polished look. The exterior is comprised of a variety of textures and patterns within the concrete panels, with multiple form liner gradients of blasted concrete, exposed aggregate, and varying panel depths that create a rich, urban appearance reflective of SMAC’s legacy of cutting-edge technical innovation.
