This program will review design and installation options, industry standards, and best practices, while also providing insight into real-world collaboration, execution, and lessons learned through a panel discussion on the original terrazzo installation and the recent tile retrofit over carpet at the Independence Visitor Center. Attendees will not only learn about this innovative installation technique but will also have the unique opportunity to walk on the very tile system being presented and hear firsthand from the project team who brought it to life.
