STAR Tilt-up wins International Award 

The EMH Sheffield Medical Center, designed and constructed by Star Inc., has been selected as a winning project for its category in the annual Tilt-Up Achievement Awards Program sponsored by the Tilt-up Concrete Association (TCA.) 

The TCA Achievement Awards program honors projects that use site cast Tilt-Up concrete to introduce new building types, advance industry technology and provide unique solutions to building programs. The winning entries illustrate the variety, beauty, and flexibility of the Tilt-Up construction concept, as well as Tilt-Up's unique ability to get the job done faster and for less money.  Additional criteria include: project complexity, how construction challenges were overcome, design attributes and features, and how the project promotes tilt-up construction. 

TCA has members in all 50 States, Canada, Mexico and throughout many other countries including the United Kingdom.

Star President Kim Mulder is very pleased, “It’s great news to hear that our design and construction professionals can compete on such a scale – even moreso considering that we first delved into tilt-up construction only five years ago!”

The EMH building is a 50,000 sq. ft., 3-story medical facility, located on Rte 254, just west of the I-90 interchange.  A sweeping, curvilinear glass curtain wall encloses an impressive atrium.  Along with corner towers and the contrasting brick façade, the striking appearance makes it a prominent landmark near the busy intersection.  It currently houses the Center for Orthopedics, with other medical groups in discussion for future occupancy.
