IWR’s designation as a finalist for its work on the University of Missouri Women’s and Children’s Hospital highlights its ability to tackle complex projects with innovative solutions and attention to detail. Partnering with general contractor Paric-Barton Malow, IWR provided design, fabrication and installation services for the hospital’s building enclosure, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and durability.  

“We are incredibly honored to be recognized as a SCOTY Award winner and Keystone Award finalist,” said Todd Staley, President of IWR North America. “MU Hospital will stand as a source of pride for the University of Missouri campus, the city of Columbia, and its community for generations to come.”

The hospital project involved integrating the new structure with the existing facility, ensuring uninterrupted access for patients and staff. The work incorporated advanced materials such as unitized curtain walls, insulated metal panels, ultra high-performance concrete panels, aluminum composite panels and custom glass and metal elements.

Safety and sustainability were prioritized throughout the project. IWR achieved zero on-site injuries and reduced environmental impact through material reuse. Advanced technologies, including AutoCAD, Revit and Procore, streamlined coordination and delivered exceptional results.

Being recognized as the top specialty contractor in Thermal and Moisture Protection by its peers underscores IWR’s excellence in timeliness, budget adherence and craftsmanship.
