By using both StoneClad and GFRC panels, the Drury Plaza hotel in Chesterton, MO was able to combine the natural beauty of real limestone with the architectural versatility and light weight of GFRC panels.

On this building, the Architect elected to use StoneClad panels for the bottom two stories featuring 2″ thick Indiana limestone. GFRC panels simulating a thermal granite finish were employed for the intermediary stories, and GFRC panels designed to simulate the limestone look of the StoneClad panels on the bottom two floors were used to finish the cornice and top of the structure.
