The Villanova Commons

The Villanova Commons includes 6 residential buildings at 425,000 square feet and is a living and learning community that includes a pedestrian bridge. In addition to the 450,000 high-strength and standard concrete block, this project required 5,000 tons of fieldstone, 28,000 cubic feet of cast stone, 140,000 face brick, 7,000 paving brick, 113,000 cubic feet of colored and regular mortar, and 170,000 sq ft of 3-inch insulation. At it’s peak we had 50 stonemasons on this project. We used five different size cranes ranging from 4 ton to 70-ton capacity and five 10,000-pound capacity forklifts.
