Challenge

In the renovation and 517,000-square-foot expansion of Brownsburg High School, the use of E5® Internal Cure® technology addressed common concrete performance concerns by proactively enhancing bonding, moisture control, and surface flatness. This approach ensured strong cohesion between new concrete and existing structures, a critical factor in large-scale renovations where structural integration is key.

Results

The inclusion of E5® technology also played a vital role in moisture mitigation during curing, maintaining the integrity of concrete in sensitive environments such as the auditorium and science labs. Additionally, the technology contributed to superior flatness control, supporting the installation of terrazzo flooring throughout the facility and delivering stable, level surfaces in high-precision areas like the kitchen, cafeteria, and athletic spaces. The result was a durable, high-performance concrete system aligned with the complex demands of a modern educational facility.

About Brownsburg High School

Brownsburg High School is a public high school in Brownsburg, Indiana, serving grades 9–12. Known for strong academics and modern facilities, it offers Advanced Placement courses, career prep programs, and a wide range of extracurriculars. A recent expansion upgraded classrooms, labs, and athletic spaces. Home of the Bulldogs, the school competes in the 6A division and is part of the Hoosier Crossroads Conference.

Project Overview

The renovation of Brownsburg High School utilized E5® Internal Cure® technology in the concrete to ensure better bonding, moisture mitigation, and flatness control. This innovative approach improved the bonding of new concrete with existing structures, ensuring a cohesive integration across the 517,000-square-foot expansion. Terrazzo flooring was used in the vast majority of the renovation and expansion project. The technology also played a crucial role in moisture mitigation, maintaining the integrity of the concrete during the curing process, which was essential in areas like the auditorium and science labs. Additionally, E5® Internal Cure® contributed to superior flatness control, providing a stable and level foundation for critical areas such as the new kitchen, cafeteria, and athletic facilities.
