“休斯顿艺术博物馆扩建项目正在进入最后阶段，而我们很高兴看到这个项目即将瓜熟蒂落。我们面临着一个具有挑战的设计，并且正在为一个建筑的有趣的组成部分—即为艺术本身而工作，”McCarthy休斯顿分部总裁Jim Stevenson表示。“我们的团队有力于展现McCarthy在博物馆扩建项目上的能力，并且很高兴能成为博物馆向大众展示艺术的目标的一个组成部分。”
“The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston expansion is entering its final phase and we are excited to see this project come to fruition. We’ve been challenged with a great design and working with interesting components for a structure that is a work of art in of itself,” said McCarthy Houston Division President Jim Stevenson. “Our teams have been able to showcase McCarthy’s abilities on this museum expansion project and have enjoyed being an integral part of the museum’s goal to bring art to the public.”
