The home of IDS was built on a site once occupied by a
large bank barn which was destroyed by a tornado August 26, 1986.
The original bank is a second-level entry for the new
facility. IDS now occupies the building which was under roof 20 years after the
tornado.
Before construction started, the existing concrete slab
was cut and sections removed to make way for the new footings.
We are building with Insulated Concrete
Forms: interlocking Styrofoam blocks that will be filled with
concrete. Here, 48" of wall is being set on the footings.
