National Medal of honor museum

PROJECT OVERVIEW: The National Medal of Honor Museum, located in Arlington, Texas, is a 102,000-square-foot architectural landmark designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects. The museum’s bold design demanded a roofing and cladding system that could deliver both aesthetic excellence and high-performance durability. The architectural vision called for a sleek, monolithic appearance with concealed fasteners and seamless integration across complex geometries, including sloped surfaces and curved transitions.

The Evolution® roofing system contributed to the museum’s symbolic and architectural integrity, reinforcing the structure’s visual metaphor of strength and unity. Its clean lines and durable finish complement the museum’s suspended volume, enhancing the visitor experience while ensuring long-term performance in Texas’s variable climate.
