NORTH CENTRAL TERRAZZO ASSOCIATION

The concept of a regional terrazzo association was sparked by Lou D'Agnolo Sr. and Narch Modesto in 1965. The two discussed various benefits offered by such an organization, and then proceeded to research potential members. Initially, this new group called North Central Terrazzo Association (NCTA) was limited to 23 firms in three states: Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin... At the first meeting in 1965 at Chicago's heralded Como Inn, officers were elected and arrangements were made for specific office functions. In a relatively short time, a full-time architectural representative was brought on. Within a year, membership increased to include other Midwestern states... Terrazzo is uniquely suited to speak to the character of corporate spaces. Lending a clear sense of durability and permanence to any space, terrazzo floors make a statement.
