UF DCP Collaboratory Project


Silverback has more than a few Gators fans on our team, and we’re even bigger fans of the positive impact UF has on our hometown and around the world. From footers and walls to decks, we’re honored to get involved every time the university needs concrete.
When Stellar Construction brought us in to build footings, cast-in-place walls and more for UF’s College of Design, Construction and Planning, we knew from the start that a creative touch was in order.
Our favorite part of this project? The true 1×8 board finish on the exterior walls. The owner wanted an authentic, organic look instead of the usual concrete form-liner on the forms. If you value looks as well as strength and stability, board-finishing is an excellent way to get the best of both worlds.
