SpawGlass completed work on the three-story, 60,000-sq-ft Biomedical Research and Health Professions Building at the University of Texas at Brownsville in September 2012.
This is the first building in the university's history to be designed to withstand sustainable winds of 191 miles per hour. To accomplish this, the project teams quickly focused on each of the individual divisions, with SpawGlass proactively reviewing details and scheduling multiple work sessions with structural engineers and subcontractors to ensure that every part manufactured and installed met Texas windstorm requirements.
