Art Institute of Chicago

Pepper has completed over 100 projects for the Art Institute, having to preserve precious artwork and maintain visitor experience during all work performed. During renovations to the European Decorative Arts gallery, the project team went through complex planning to coordinate upgrades to the gallery, including new display walls, lighting systems, color schemes, floor finishes and the installation of a new ceiling system and HVAC distribution. Throughout construction, the project team had to constantly consider their impact on museum operations, as they planned work around the safety of museum patrons and artwork.
