Major Efficiency Projects in Museums
Roger Chang, principal at DLR Group, and Jean Savitsky, director of real estate and sustainability at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, will review landmark projects that have recently undergone critical, sustainable infrastructure upgrades.
The discussion will cover risk mitigation, resilience, environment controls, and successful outcomes at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian, and Mt. Vernon Estate . The presentation will also cover the LEED Platinum expansion of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City; why the museum decided to expand; how they engaged the community and the construction crew; and the issues with expanding while keeping the museum open.
