Bucknell University Holmes Hall

Cast Stone Institute 2021 COMMERCIAL EXCELLENCE Award Winner

This project is a new construction college campus building with cast stone base panels, watertable, sills, middle cornice, pilaster / window mullion panels and roof coping.

The cast stone mix design selected for this project is a very warm sandstone color, which provides the building with a unique appearance, and much different than the typical red brick with light cast stone most often seen. Cast stone served as an economical alternative to natural stone without sacrificing detail, visual appeal, or durability.
