MSU Museum Infrastructure Improvements

Overview of Scope

This project will upgrade climate control for the MSU Museum, including a comprehensive replacement of heating ventilation and air conditioning systems and humidity control, along with replacing the building windows. The project will also review code requirements as appropriate.

To maintain its accreditation, the Museum requires investment that provides temperature and humidity environmental controls in alignment with standards for collections stewardship, storage and exhibition. Accreditation helps the Museum secure federal agency grants that support continued collections care and maintenance and investment in educational programming.
