Pomona College “Benton” Museum of Art, Construction

Construction is underway on the new Pomona College Museum of Art. Near the site we’ve built two large mock-ups to test the structure and architectural finishes of the monolithic, cast-in place, concrete walls. One type of concrete is a linear board-formed concrete with tapering windows and corners set below a sloping roof line. The other type is an HDO lined concrete with inset wood frames.
