The University of Wisconsin – La Crosse (UWL) is constructing a new $49 million, 144,000 gross-square-foot Student Fieldhouse & Soccer Support Facility for their campus. Masonry was the obvious choice for interior infill walls within the structural steel frame and key loadbearing walls. But what was not so apparent was how the mason contractor and design team would work together to develop creative uses of prefabricated masonry lintels, lightweight CMU, and a seldom-used alternative engineered method to eliminate or minimize the number of control joints (Figure 1).
