R. J. Prossen, Inc. (MCAA) of Brookfield, Wis. is making news with an innovative masonry building system in the Midwest. Known as Rigid Frame Concrete Masonry Construction, the system is based on a modular design of insulated architectural concrete block, and precast columns, beams, and roof planks. The completed buildings are not only totally functional but aesthetically attractive, as the cover illustrates. For a detailed account of Prossen's approach to masonry construction, please turn to page 14. (Cover photo courtesy of the National Concrete Masonry Association.)
