Brooklyn Museum
Renovation of historic museum building
Historic landmark required renovations, a service extension addition and significant MEP upgrades to accommodate for the museum’s complex climate control needs. Gilbane managed the phased construction services with a focus on maintaining the historical integrity of museum elements, including construction of a new floor over the severely deteriorated original glass-block floor of the museum’s largest public space, Beaux-Arts Court on the third floor and involved installation of new stainless steel framed glass planking and cementitious pre-cast terrazzo flooring.
Project Overview
- Multiple gallery renovations
- Interior basement renovation
- Service extension addition
- Mechanical system upgrades
- Highly coordinated security plan
“I commend the team for their responsiveness to the museum’s needs and their cultural attention to detail on this unique project. In addition to landmark issues, the sensitive nature of our collections, the ongoing use of adjacent spaces, and the schedule offered many challenges which Gilbane and their subcontractors dealt with admirably.”
