RENOVATION / CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AT RISK
The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame
U.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 project 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."

Director, National Museum of Racing & Hall of Fame
