The Austin Training Pavilion is substantially complete with a visit from Chris Doyle, Artist and METALAB, Fabrication and CM for Austin Art in Public Places at the Austin Firemen Training Facility.

The Austin Training Pavilion canopy was installed in an hour by the landscape crew (no steel erection subs necessary!).  A wide load left Houston at 9am and met the crane on site.  Lifting lugs included in the pre-fabricated assembly were used to hoist the entire assembly into place on its four 9' columns.  The beautiful Texas sun animated the waterjet cut suspended panels immediately.  Showers, fans and site work are all that remain.

The Austin Training Pavilion canopy is complete and ready to ship as one integral assembly to the site.  It will need an escort from Houston to Austin, look for it on I-10 next Friday.  It will be installed on its four columns by four-point lift.  Chris Doyle, Artist; Metalab, Digital Fabrication and CM.

The Austin Training Pavilion canopy frame is complete with tube lattice that will receive the water jet cut corrugated panel system.  The entire assembly will ship from Houston in one piece (with escort) and be installed on 4 columns.

This pavilion will be built at the Austin Police Training Academy.  Chris Doyle is the commissioned artist and METALAB is fabrication consultants and construction managers on the project.  The canopy contains waterjet cut profiles held within a 16'x48' cantilevered frame.  The frame is being galvanized in the largest hot dip facility in the region and will be shipped to the site as one complete assembly to be installed on the four columns.  Campo Sheet Metal is fabricating and dry fitting the project here in Houston.
