Build Better ICF Schools

Over the last decade ICFs have become the design standard for new school construction in the USA. “It’s hard to see a better alternative for school construction” states an architect who has recently designed many ICF-built schools.
Forward thinking school boards all across the USA are realizing the benefits of building better schools with Logix ICFs. Schools built with ICFs have reduced their monthly utility bills by up to 75% or more, creating up to a per-school savings in the range of $60,000 to $70,000 per year that can be allocated elsewhere to fund needed educational resources and teacher salaries.
And meanwhile, the students enjoy a comfortable and quiet learning environment within a safe steel-reinforced concrete envelope that offers priceless protection from potential threats such as tornadoes, hurricanes and wildfires. It’s a win/win all around.

ICF Schools:
Simply Faster & Less Expensive
And best of all, these high performance ICF schools have often been built within the budgets normally approved for regular conventionally-built schools. That’s because Logix ICF is simply faster and less expensive than you expect high quality school construction to be. And simpler too – with Logix, a single crew of only eight people have built an entire school’s superstructure, largely unimpeded by cold winter conditions.
Logix is the perfect wall for the following elements in new school construction:
- Exterior walls
- Interior load-bearing walls (often corridor walls)
- Fire & sound rated demising walls
- Tall Walls (auditoriums and gymnasiums)
- Safe Rooms and Areas
- Shear Walls
Logix is the perfect wall for the following elements of a school.

What people say about building with Logix
Harvey Schellenburg
In just 10 weeks my 6-man crew installed all the above-grade Logix ICF exterior walls and the hollow core floors of a 5-storey 190,000 sq ft condo building.

When a precast concrete floor is specified in an ICF mid-rise, the structural engineers do not have to engineer the floors as they would in a cast-in-place building. We also find that an lCF mid-rise building is easier to engineer than a masonry building - there is simply much more strength capacity in the steel-reinforced ICF.

ICFs are cost efficient, fast and allows construction in winter. Just the type of building technology that mid-rise developers are looking for – high value for money in terms of return on investment, as it is fast and cheap compared to other non-combustible materials.
