Our VIEW™ is a Button Structural Glass Balustrade Railing System that provides the clearest view imaginable. This system consists of 1/2” (minimum) SGP laminated glass or 5/8″ PVB laminated glass and fascia mounted with fixed point holders in stainless steel.

VIVA’s tempered glass infills provide optimal line of sight as well as an understated elegance. Our glass infills range from a minimum of 3/8″ PVB or SGP laminated glass. Colored, patterned and frosted glass are additional options based on design intent and need.


Texas State Technical College, or the TSTC, recently renovated the Col. James Connally Aerospace Center. Hosting various degrees in Aircraft, aviation, and aerodynamics the new facility can bring students into the flight industry in about 60 credit hours. All of the faculty are FAA-Certified which means you get the best aviation education possible. Featuring planes of all kinds within the building, the VIEW system chosen by Pearson Construction and the Wallace Group is the best way to display the history of the aviation industry.

PROJECT TEAM

Pearson Construction builds the great state of Texas. Once known as Billington Construction, nearly a decade later it was purchased and changed to Pearson Construction. Bob Pearson was the first in the family to take over as president, and upon his death, his son Scott has been there from the beginning, holding a true family legacy in the construction firm.

The Wallace Group is not only a group of architects but also engineers and surveyors. Since expanding to CPY&Y corporation, the team has grown even more but also keeping the same roots in Texas that has made them such a high-quality design team.
