The Medal of Honor is the U.S. Armed Forces’ highest military decoration, and the memory of the more than 3,500 heroes who received it will be forever remembered with the National Medal of Honor Museum that opened in Arlington, Texas, on March 25. Designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects, the 130,000-ft2 facility is set into a five-acre tranquil landscape. The complex’s primary building is served by a custom glass elevator designed and built by TK Elevator (TKE) for general contractor Linbeck Group. TKE was supported by Eklund’s, Inc., which built the custom glass cabs. In a video produced by TKE, elevator adjuster Mike Holcomb said the elevator is unique in his 26-year career, from its in-ground jack to its cantilevered construction with rails on one side. TKE Americas CEO Jeremy Rainwater said the company is proud and humbled to have been part of the project.
