Just north from the Museum of the City of New York, Hill International is wrapping up work on a smaller, but no less prominent project: the renovation of El Museo del Barrio. The museum is one of several tenants in the 1921 Beaux Arts building on Fifth Avenue between 104th and 105th streets, and is undergoing a facelift to celebrate the Latino cultural institution's 40th anniversary.
New York’s Gruzen Samton Architects won the competition for the renovation in 2000, but between then and 2006, the project grew in scope several times from what started as a lobby and courtyard renovation.
