This innovative project was done by Spagnolo Gisness & Associates on Pine Hall which is an energy-efficient dormitory at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts. Wheaton College is a private liberal arts institution that was founded in 1834. This passive housing design that incorporates McAvoy Brick has helped the college cut operating costs by 50%. These Norman sized McAvoy Cobsets were installed by Fernandes Masonry. The general contractor for Pine Hall was Commodore Builders. Thanks to Dawn Brennan from Consolidated Brick Avon, Massachusetts for all her efforts on facilitating this project for us! The innovation of an energy-saving design with the timelessness of a McAvoy Brick makes for a unique building.

Check out this fascinating article about all the benefits of the passive housing design used on Pine Hall!

Did you know why some brick have holes?

First, “core holes” help the overall strength of the structure by making it easier to bind mortar. When the brick is laid, and the mortar that has squeezed into the core hole dries, it creates an anchor effect.

Second, the core holes allow for the brick to be fired more evenly due to the extra surface area.

Finally, cored brick use less raw materials without sacrificing structural integrity. This allows the brick to be lighter, making them easier to ship, and faster to lay, saving both time and money.
