MAY 2021
Pigment from Dynamic Color Solutions can be found in six of the Building Award Winners in the 2021 PCI Design Awards, and in four more projects that took honorable mentions in the Buildings category.
“We’re proud to have our color in so many of the winners. This year’s winners really show the tremendous versatility of precast, and the possibility that color offers,” said DCS’ Jimmy Crawford, Vice President of Development.

DCS Customer: Gate Precast Company, Monroeville, AL
Grey and charcoal-pigmented precast walls blend with DC Blox’s bold painted purple accent walls. That’s just a small part of what makes this precast concrete building special.

DCS Customer: Gate Precast Company, Monroeville, AL

University of Alabama Parking Deck
Tuscaloosa, AL
DCS Customer: Gate Precast Company, Monroeville, AL
The new seven-story parking structure at the University of Alabama looks more like a state-of-the-art library than a place to park your car. The neoclassical architecture and brick-and-limestone design were specifically chosen to mimic the century-old buildings that cover the university’s campus.
