2011 Cast Stone Institute Excellence Award Winner - Restoration and Manufacturing Excellence Categories

This cast stone restoration project is a complete replacement of the collegiate gothic courtyard entrance at Princeton University. The original arch, erected in 1911, was badly deteriorating and no longer structurally sound, or aesthetically pleasing. Over the years, most of the cast stone had lost their original architectural detail. Sun Precast partnered with Masonry Preservation Group to restore this architectural gem to its original beauty.
