MUSEUM / ADDITIONS & RENOVATIONS National Museum of Racing & Hall of Fame, Saratoga Springs, NYU.W. Marx's assignment as Construction Manager was to work with Butler Rowland Mays Architects, LLP of Ballston Spa, NY to renovate the existing building into a first-rate retrofit museum befitting the Upstate New York horse-racing and resort community. The U.W. Marx construction management team constructed a new 10,000 s/f addition around the existing museum while it remained fully operational, and then renovated 28,000 s/f of the existing museum during a winter/spring shutdown. The Construction Management Association of America award-winning project included installation of a complete new heating, A/C, humidification and temperature control system, 4,500 s/f of new exhibit space, and new entryways, main lobby, and gift shop. Also, existing dormant space was converted into collections-storage with state-of-the-art climate-control capabilities. |

"The project (National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame) was an important undertaking by the Museum.
It involved not only the addition of new exhibition and collection storage space, but also the renovation to virtually
all of our existing facility. We had far too much to risk if we exceeded the budget or were not able to open the new
wing in time for our 50th Anniversary. Our new exhibition facility, which was designed to maintain an extremely stable
museum climate, had to be completed in advance of the actual public opening, so that we could prove that it was safe
to display approximately $300,000,000 worth of borrowed paintings."
