When Cincinnati’s historic Union Terminal needed a renovation that would restore the integrity of the structure and provide the classic rail hub with new mechanical systems, the Cincinnati Museum Center turned to Turner Construction.
“We did a lot of work up front and the architecture teams were phenomenal in planning, but we all knew that when you took off certain sections you would see issues and you would try to think, ‘OK, those issues are probably going to repeat themselves throughout the building,’” says David Spaulding, vice president and general manager of Turner’s Cincinnati office. “We’d have to go section by section and have the architects and engineers side by side with us and dissect the building at different times because we didn’t shut it down, operations were ongoing during construction.”
