National Medal of Honor Museum

National Medal of Honor Museum

A museum dedicated to celebrating the country’s most accomplished veterans needed an inspiring, dynamic space--and structural steel delivered.

The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation chose a wide open design by Rafael Viñoly Architects and schlaich bergermann partner for its Arlington, Texas museum. These firms collaborated to develop a novel structural system to support a primary feature of the museum--an elevated 200 ft by 200 ft by 35 ft tall steel-framed exhibition hall space--atop five megacolumns.
