BUCK'S HILL SCHOOL WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT | Architect: Francis L. S. Meyers | Contractor: Waterbury Construction Co.

 "We selected laminated wood arches for the combination gymnasium-auditorium in Buck's Hill School because we felt that a form of exposed ceiling would be most economical. By using laminated wood. arches and purlins we were able to apply a low cost roof with an acoustical interior finish and have a finished room broken only by the clean lines of the arches." For these reasons architect, Francis L. S. Meyers, designed the Buck's Hill School around laminated wood structural members. The versatility of Rilco arches as a decorative material is further emphasized in the spans under the overhang entrance.
