CEMEX Participates in New School of Art in Houston’s Museum District
CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today that it supplied more than 16,000 cubic meters (approximately 21,000
cubic yards) of custom-made concrete for the Glassell School of Art, the teaching institute of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in
the USA.
Designed by Steven Holl Architects, the new Glassell School of Art extends over 8,500 square meters (approximately 93,000 square
feet) and features an L-shaped design with various angles, depths, and exposed beams and surfaces that required several specialty
concrete mixes.
Over the span of 2.5 years, CEMEX provided different tailor-made concrete mixes for this project, each requiring a different
pour. Additionally, CEMEX supplied hand-mixed batches of white concrete, with every pour closely controlled by an on-site quality
specialist.
“This project really showcases what concrete can do both structurally and architecturally,” said Alexis Evans, Market
Development Manager of CEMEX USA’s Texas Region. “The service schedule was demanding and challenging, so it was very important for
us to deliver exactly what the customer wanted, precisely when they needed it.”
