The street-and-land scaping continues at CORTEX - St. Louis' innovation district.
FabriTec Structures of Dallas and SWT Design of Shrewsbury have combined to put up a bat wing at CORTEX.
The white fabric structure resembling a bat wing is part of the CORTEX Commons, which is an extensive landscape and plaza project.
CORTEX Commons is still under construction along Boyle Avenue between Forest Park and Clayton avenues.
FabriTec said the bat wing will be part of a pavilion, which will accommodate events at CORTEX.
Three columns will support the open-air canopy of 2,445 square feet of PVC architectural membrane.
Such tension fabric structures have become popular.
Other projects using tension fabric structures are located at the Denver, San Diego and Memphis airports.
