United States and Texas f lags f lew at the ends of the beam—the same f lags that have previously f lown over the Topping Out ceremonies of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Bass Performance Hall and the Houston Branch of the Federal Reser ve Bank. Construction of the Winspear Opera House, designed by Foster + Partners and constructed by Linbeck, continues on schedule. In the coming months, work will begin on the 60-foot high Annette and Harold Simmons Signature Glass Façade, the clear glass façade that encloses the lobby, and the installation of the red glass that w raps the exterior of the Margaret McDermott Performance Hall.

With no interior columns in the Potter Rose Performance Hall, the architecture and engineering teams designed the entire structure of the Wyly Theatre to be supported by six perimeter concrete “super columns” and concrete shear wall. Crews are now assembling the primary steel belt truss that will connect the “super columns” and stabilize the structure. The vertical steel columns pictured above provide temporary support until the belt truss is complete.

The Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre may seem, at first glance, like a relatively simple building — a 14-level rectangular structure. A closer look, however, reveals the design and engineering complexities that make the Wyly Theatre one of the most innovative buildings in the world. Construction of the superstructure has now progressed to a point where one can easily see how intricate—and unusual—the Wyly Theatre truly is.
