Design Notes: Top End Constructors and NBBJ Architects had to work together to expand and renovate the UCLA Pauley Pavilion into a modern facility while matching the university’s signature structure and layout. A monolithic design was chosen, with a simple four color pattern of bands and stripes. This helped achieve a seamless finish with an excellent color match for this 70,000 square-foot epoxy terrazzo floor, base and stair stadium. A combination of cast in place and precast terrazzo was used for the waterfall staircase, along with curbs of terrazzo for the stairwells.

Terrazzo flooring systems have existed for centuries, dating back to Roman times. Marble chips, byproducts of exquisite sculptures, were mixed with cement and ground to a polished finish to create the original terrazzo flooring system. This enduring mixture is still used today, but with a few modern modifications.
With your surface as the canvas, Terroxy® Resin Systems provides the ability to transform creativity into a durable and timeless art. The glue that truly bonds your system together, Terroxy® Resin Systems’ Epoxy Matrix, provides a beautiful, seamless surface that is easy to maintain.
Terroxy® Epoxy Matrix:
Terroxy® Epoxy Matrix provides a system that is long lasting and easy to maintain. Resistant to chemicals, oil, grease and bacteria, Terroxy® Epoxy Matrix is ideal for commercial, industrial and institutional applications. This special formula does not allow for colors to fade or to wear thin. The colors you choose today will be just as vibrant in 40 years.
Terrazzo Chip-Aggregate For Terrazzo Flooring:
The specialty aggregates included in terrazzo flooring are the primary ingrediant of the terrazzo design mix, typically representing 70% of the flooring system. These aggregates are most commonly marble chips; however, glass and other specialty aggregates are also suitable for terrazzo flooring.
Domus Divider Strip:
Divider strips are commonly used in terrazzo flooring to serve two basic needs: form and function. For thin-set epoxy terrazzo, the most common divider strips are an “L” type manufactured in a white zinc alloy or brass.
Divider strips may simply serve as a transition between colors or they may be bent on the job site or water-jet cut at the factory to form intricate designs, logo artwork and lettering.
The primary function divider strips offer is to control cracking in your terrazzo flooring topping.
T&M offers custom strip design for any terrazzo project from basic patterns to the most complex designs.
ecoTrazzo-Sustainable Living:
ecoTrazzo is a thin-set epoxy terrazzo flooring system designed to provide additional green benefits relative to traditional poured-in-place terrazzo systems.
The key components to an ecoTrazzo floor include the incorporation of sustainable chips and VOC.

Design Notes: The possibilities are endless when designing with terrazzo. A true fairytale landscape was specifically designed for terrazzo in this LEED-certified project. The combination of bright and fun colors along with animated images not only creates a warm and comforting space, but also opens up an artistic dialogue with young patients. 21 epoxy terrazzo colors and the combination of metal works and custom water-jet cuts were used in the design process to create a brush stroke appearance in this 6,000 square-foot installation.

Design Notes: The craftsmanship of the contractor and the versatility of terrazzo are fully demonstrated in the renovation of the original 1960s building. This 3,500 square-foot installation brings in 3/8” epoxy terrazzo to match the sand-cushion terrazzo; perfectly matching the original color scheme and the Italian marble aggregates that were used. The flow from one color to another is visually consistent giving the Cathedral of Christ the King a clean and beautiful finish.
