With more than 400,000 annual visitors and projected attendance expected to reach 550,000 per year, the Minnesota Children’s Museum was planning an expansion/renovation project. They needed mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering services for nearly every part of the existing 40,000-square-foot building and the 14,000 square feet of new space.
Mechanical and electrical engineering tasks included preparing design and construction documents and specifications, coordinating systems design and routings, assisting throughout the bidding process, and providing contract administration services to meet sustainable building guidelines.
The museum remained open throughout much of the construction. Therefore, phasing of the work was necessary to minimize impact. A comprehensive work plan kept the project on schedule throughout all phases. The improvements were fully completed in June 2017.
