Thaw Conservation Center

Renovation/adaptive-reuse of the fourth floor of the historic Morgan House achieves a 5,600 SF center that more than doubles the size of previous conservation facilities.  In addition to designated areas for wet conservation work, dry conservation work, matting and framing, the center includes areas for advanced seminars, graduate internships, and postgraduate fellowship work.  

Acoustic design addressed ways to minimize equipment noise.  AD’s team collaborated on the design of specialty ventilation and finish systems to ensure a quiet work environment for highly-sensitive detail oriented tasks.
