In many of the schools there were multiple colors utilized to create a diverse texture on the veneer of the building. The brick is “flashed” which is a term that results from the method of burning or firing the brick in the kiln. It causes diversity in the color range.
Most projects were constructed with bricks that were considered “large” by average standards. The bricks were 4″ deep, 4″ hight and 16″ long (nominally) and are referred to in the industry as “EMPEROR” size units.
Note the unique bonding pattern which was created by the lead designer at Kluber Inc.
