Phased Renovations Support Ever-Evolving Exhibits

To properly showcase rare copies of America’s founding documents and create an innovative visitor experience, the National Constitution Center engaged B&F to manage a highly collaborative team to create a special exhibit featuring a first edition of the Declaration of Independence, a copy of the first public printing of the U.S. Constitution, and an original copy of the Bill of Rights. We also oversaw renovations to modernize the "Freedom Rising" AV experience in the Sidney Kimmel Theater and crucial back-of-house projects, including a chiller replacement and HVAC upgrades to preserve important historical documents.
