McClure was responsible for designing the structural support for the building’s sloping façade and curtain wall system. As the façade angled across multiple floors, our team engineered stud framing to span two levels, incorporating solutions for long cantilevers. The combination of sloping curtain walls, varying slab lines, and complex geometries required McClure to develop innovative, custom solutions throughout the project. To achieve the building’s distinctive curves, we utilized curved metal framing—allowing contractors to create true curves rather than approximating them with segmented straight framing. This project presented unique and challenging conditions, and McClure delivered precise, creative solutions to bring the design vision to life.
