The new 90,000sf Barnes Foundation Art Education Center houses the foundation’s world-renowned art collection in galleries that replicate the original Merion, PA, galleries. A work of art in itself, the steel-frame concrete structure features stone panels from Israel, a glass curtain wall exterior, and custom materials on the interior such as wood and stone floors, plaster ceilings and custom woodwork. We used BIM to coordinate and implement all architectural and structural plans, and building systems—heating, plumbing, mechanical and electrical—as well as the underground utilities, including construction of three underground infiltration basins to enable collected storm water from the buildings and site to infiltrate into the ground.
