Radius Track Corp. received the Excellence in Construction Award from CISCA. The award, presented at CISCA’s annual convention in April, recognized the company for excellence in designing and fabricating curved cold-formed steel framing for the new Tobin Center for the Performing Arts in San Antonio. The project received top honors, the Gold award, in the South Region’s Interior Finishes category for difficult and complex projects.
CISCA cites Radius Track’s contribution to a unique feature wall in the Tobin Center’s lobby. The wall has a compound-curvature. Not only does it wrap nearly 100 feet around the back of the auditorium, it undulates in and out as it rises nearly 70 feet above the floor. It is clad with sculptural panels that vary in configuration to accommodate the wall’s complex geometry. The panels, made from glass-fiber reinforced gypsum (GFRG), are supported by Curved-Right, Radius Track’s custom-fabricated cold-formed steel (CFS) framing system.
