McCarthy was recently recognized for the firm’s outstanding work on The University of Texas Southwestern (USTW) Medical Center’s Laboratory Research and Support Building. McCarthy received awards from both the Associated Builders and Contractors of North Texas (ABC) and Texas Construction for its superior construction and contribution to the educational industry.
“We are genuinely honored to be recognized by both organizations for our work on the UTSW Laboratory Research and Support Building project,” said McCarthy Texas Division President Mike McWay. “We strive to attain excellence in all of our projects, and our work on UTSW spotlights McCarthy’s strong background in building medical research facilities.”
The UTSW Laboratory Research and Support Building is a $25.4-million, four-story, 78,000-square-foot facility providing research and laboratory space to further medical education and research for the 4,200 medical, graduate and allied health students who participate in UTSW graduate programs.
The ABC of North Texas annually recognizes and promotes the outstanding projects built by ABC members on both a local and national level with its Excellence in Construction Awards. McCarthy was awarded the Excellence in Construction Award of Merit in Higher Education in the category for projects valued between $25 million to $100 million. This is the fifth time that McCarthy has received an Excellence in Construction award from ABC of North Texas. Texas Construction selected the UTSW project as a “Best of 2008 Award” winner in the higher education category. The “Best of 2008 Awards” is an annual event that celebrates and honors the building teams that create the best projects in Texas. Winners are selected by an independent jury of industry experts. The “Best of 2008 Award” winners will be featured in the December 2008 issue of Texas Construction.
