Museum displays with dim lighting

Project

Father Andrew P. Kashevaroff Alaska State Library, Archives and Museum

The Alaska State Library, Archive, and Museum was designed to seamlessly integrate the distinct and sometimes competing indoor environmental requirements of a library, archive, and museum under one roof. Detailed indoor environmental modeling, developed by AMC Engineers at the project’s inception and refined throughout the design process, allowed the design team to strategically engineer the overall building envelope, interior partition walls, and access flow paths to support the unique HVAC system operating requirements. Comprehensive indoor environmental maps included in the design package helped operators understand the environmental relationships such as temperature, relative humidity, and differential vapor pressure within the building.

  • Without a doubt AMC was the right team for this project. They had the in-house expertise (lighting, security, and HVAC) to tackle the tough aspects of getting it right with a highly articulated client group. They were very team oriented throughout the project design and construction. AMC brought the right mix of delivering what the client requested but also reinterpreting the request pushing the boundaries to the betterment of the project. Phased funding, phased construction, phased design added with multiple trade construction superintendents over the span of the 4 years in construction highlights the importance for strength and excellence from the quality assurance team of which AMC was integral to that.
