Project information

Our under-budget renovation of several wings of this active landmarked museum included 30,000-SF of skylight reconstruction, 50,000-SF of masonry repairs, expanded mechanical equipment rooms and a 60,000-SF attic MEP upgrade with 10,000’ of new ducts, pipes and cables. The skylight project alone reduced the museum’s entire carbon footprint by nearly seven percent.

Smart solutions

While The Met removed the priceless masterworks from the galleries in which we were working, we erected an elevated “dance floor” platform to protect decorative elements like plaster and copings.
