OMAHA, NE — Goodwill Elkhorn Retail Store and Donation Center has been selected to receive a 2024 Award of Outstanding Achievement for the use of concrete from American Concrete Institute Nebraska.
The LEO A DALY site adapt design is Goodwill’s first ground-up, free-standing build in the Omaha metro in a decade. At 15,000 square feet, the facility includes a retail sales floor, drive-through donation center, online pick up, and a training room.
“Concrete is dependable, durable, and resilient — like Goodwill itself,” LEO A DALY Project Manager Erin Froschheiser said. “This award affirms Goodwill’s commitment to efficient design and our community.”
Key concrete features of the building include:
- Exterior wall precast site adapt design utilized precast as more than wall finish. It is also the structural system, eliminating steel columns and freeing up space for the retail store.
- Precast columns at entry are also different than previous buildings, which were cast in place. Precast helped control appearance and expedite schedule.
- Precast material met the City of Omaha Urban Design Standards for finish appearance and to screen rooftop equipment.
- Precast walls and exposed polished concrete floors will require little maintenance for the life of the building.
