Everson museum of art building preservation and sustainability project - ceilings [with support from the national endowment for the humanities, everson museum of art will conduct a series of capital improvement projects to repair and mitigate damage to the 54-year-old building and its collections due to rapidly accelerating climate change. In 2018, everson consulted with historic architecture and conservation professionals to assess structural issues of the poured-in-place concrete building, such as fissures, condensation, and temperature fluctuation in four main galleries. In 2024, the everson will implement recommendations in its first phase of gallery renovations to fix structural issues, implement energy-efficient systems, and upgrade non-code-compliant electrical wiring. At its conclusion, the project will protect the historic building, mitigate damage to its collections, continue the museum?S focus on energy efficiency in the fight again climate change, and diversify its collections and exhibitions for increased humanities-based content and discussion.]
