Dixon Inc. is delighted to feature the Marygrove Early Learning Center, a project that exemplifies our commitment to excellence in educational facility construction. This state-of-the-art learning center, designed to provide a nurturing and inspiring environment for young learners, showcases Dixon Inc.’s expertise in advanced exterior systems. Our team was responsible for the comprehensive exterior envelope, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.

Project Highlights

• Air & Vapor Barrier: Dixon Inc. installed over 10,000 square feet of air and vapor barriers, a critical component in maintaining the building’s energy efficiency and indoor air quality. This installation prevents moisture intrusion and air leakage, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable environment for the students and staff.
• Flashings: Our team meticulously installed flashings to direct water away from critical areas of the building envelope. This attention to detail ensures long-term durability and protection against water damage, preserving the integrity of the building’s structure and façade.
• Terra-Cotta Façade: The project features a stunning terra-cotta veneer, also covering over 10,000 square feet. This material not only adds to the visual appeal of the Marygrove Early Learning Center but also offers exceptional durability and low maintenance. The terra-cotta façade is a testament to Dixon Inc.’s skill in combining traditional materials with modern construction techniques.
