TEI Group awarded contract at Studio Museum, Harlem NY
The first major phase of our building project is underway. As we prepare to begin construction on our brand-new facility, designed by Adjaye Associates in collaboration with Cooper Robertson, we must first dismantle the existing building. Protective fencing, a sidewalk scaffold, and netting wrapped around the building are some of the most visible steps we will take to keep our neighbors safe and minimize disruption during demolition. Demolition will be complete by early summer 2019, and construction is expected to continue through 2021. In addition TEI Group was awarded contract to install two (2) Overhead Geared Traction Passenger Elevators.
The new Studio Museum will be the first home the institution has ever occupied that will be conceived and built for its program. The building will rise on the site of the century-old commercial building adapted for the Studio Museum in the early 1980s by the pioneering architect J. Max Bond Jr. The new building will provide the custom-built and expanded facilities, enriched visitor experience, and strong architectural presence appropriate to a premier center for contemporary artists of African descent, the principal visual art institution in Harlem and a magnet for visitors from around the world.
The Studio Museum in Harlem is the nexus for artists of African descent locally, nationally, and internationally and for work that has been inspired and influenced by black culture. It is a site for the dynamic exchange of ideas about art and society.
