Our firm has enjoyed a long relationship with the Guggenheim Museum starting with the construction of the original Annex designed and construction under the leadership of the Taliesen firm in 1964.
Our charge was to provide state of the art environmental control systems to a thirty year old landmark structure.
The scope of work included both new construction and renovation, and required sensitivity and imagination in the programming of M,E,P, and FP systems. The existing buildings needed upgrading, abatement, and modernization, and the construction and design was accomplished in three phases involving two design firms and two independent construction managers.
The renovated building and the new Annex Wing re-opened to the public in late 1992.
Our firm has recently completed the restoration of the auditorium, which had been deferred for four years due to the lack of funds.
Our thirty-six year relationship with the Guggenheim Museum continues today.
The Sackler Education Center is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in early 2001.
We are also currently assisting the Museum in assessing the risk to their mechanical and electrical systems, which could result from the loss of utility services. Our study, when concluded, will prepare the Museum to protect their collection and maintain operations under a wide range of emergencies.
