Techo-Bloc pavers have proven to be more than just a surface solution; they are integral to creating a modern, visually stunning environment rooted in place and people.
The Sharon High School, originally constructed in 1958, has long been a cornerstone of its Massachusetts community. However, with over six decades of wear and tear, the school faced significant issues: crowding, deteriorating systems, accessibility challenges, and an incompatibility with contemporary instructional techniques. Recognizing the need for a transformative upgrade, the school embarked on a comprehensive renovation project.
Techo-Bloc’s Industria 300 x 150, Diamond Smooth, and Blu 80 Smooth pavers played a pivotal role in this transformation:
“The building architecture of the new Sharon High School is very dynamic with different materials and textures representing the various educational/arts/athletic program. Warner Larson chose Techo-Bloc — their range of shapes, sizes and colors. By blending a mix of colors, the design created a captivating mosaic of distinct outdoor spaces to complement the building facade. From the grand promenade plaza along the front of the building to the multiple outdoor learning and social spaces, these pavers are perfect for the heavy use by students and faculty. Besides their aesthetic appeal, these pavers are compliant with ADA and rock salt requirements.”
- Sameer Bhoite, Design Director, Warner Larson Landscape Architects
This project not only addresses the immediate functional needs of Sharon High School but also establishes a vibrant, enduring, and community-centered space. It stands as a testament to how urban landscapes can be transformed with thoughtful design and high-quality materials. Techo-Bloc pavers have proven to be more than just a surface solution; they are integral to creating a modern, visually stunning environment rooted in place and people.
