The simultaneous restoration and modernization of four historic prototype libraries was designed to redefine the Philadelphia Public Library as a central neighborhood resource.
While museums can often require more than a decade of planning, design and construction, the $254-million, 430,000-sq-ft Museum of the Bible project took five years from concept to grand opening.
The 60,000-sq-ft expansion and renovation of Christ Fellowship Church included a 400-seat multipurpose area, a children’s second-floor worship center, redesigned classrooms, conversion of a double-volume gymnasium into additional classrooms, more parking and other campus upgrades.
A thorough coordination of materials and precise planning helped the project team bring to life the final work of internationally acclaimed artist Ellsworth Kelly, who died in 2015.
