A grand entrance to an art museum features a striking combination of modern and classical architectural elements, with a concrete façade punctuated by large rectangular aluminum windows and adorned with vertical banners displaying artwork, while a dramatic curved staircase with metal railings leads up to glass doors, framed by an overhanging concrete structure that provides depth and shade.

Worcester Art Museum

Aluminum, Landmark

Worcester Art Museum, designed by WHY Architects, includes an elegant new staircase with granite steps and a steel frame. The main concept of our project was to use modern aluminum windows to replicate the geometry of the existing windows, including thermally efficient exterior and interior custom made extrusions. For installation of oversized IGUs we used a combination of lifting equipment such as cranes, glass manipulators etc.
