Both awards were presented during the 91st Annual Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) convention in Orlando, Fla. The AT&amp;T Performing Arts Center Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre received an AON Build America Award for Best New Building Project, and the Mission Hospital Patient Care Tower received a Marvin M. Black Excellence in Partnering Award.</p>
<p>\"Headquartered in St. Louis, McCarthy brings a unique blend of local and national construction expertise to our community,\" explained McCarthy President and Chief Operating Officer Derek Glanvill. \"We are honored to have two projects recognized this year by the national AGC. These projects serve as outstanding examples of McCarthy\'s commitment to construction excellence and collaboration. It is exciting not only to celebrate these individual project successes, but more fundamentally to be able to share and apply these best practices on local projects here in our region.\"</p>
<p>Designed by REX/OMA, Joshua Prince-Ramus (partner in charge) and 
Pritzker Prize-winning architect Rem Koolhaas, the Wyly Theatre is the 
world\'s first and only high-rise theatre and is one of two new venues in
 the AT&amp;T Performing Arts Center in the heart of downtown Dallas.  
Constructed by McCarthy, the 12-level, 80,300-square-foot multi-form 
theatre, completely rethinks the traditional arrangement of a theatre\'s 
parts. This vertically-stacked theatre houses unique materials from 
across the globe and boasts the capability to transform into three 
different seating configurations -  thrust, proscenium and flat floor - 
made possible by a series of lift platforms that raise and lower.</p>
