A special project completed for The Pennsylvania
State University is the addition to The Palmer Museum of Art.
Designed by internationally renowned postmodern architect
Charles W. Moore, the newly expanded and renovated museum boasts ten
galleries, a striking two-story lobby, and an outdoor sculpture garden.
The mechanical and electrical requirements were very rigid
in order for the museum to obtain traveling exhibits. Temperature and
humidity levels are constantly recorded with a temperature tolerance
of one degree above or below set point and humidity control with a 1%
variation above or below the set point. The museum has been open since
1993 and has maintained the required conditions
The lighting systems required specialized controls,
fixtures and lamps selected to properly illuminate the various works
of art. Lamps were also considered for protection of the artwork. The
ability for easily revising the fixtures was also a major consideration
