GRAND RAPIDS ART MUSEUM -- This new cultural gem for Grand Rapids is the
first newly built LEED certified art museum in the world. The elegant new
building features galleries for display of permanent and traveling
collections, community gathering areas, an auditorium, café, museum store
and offices. Moore & Bruggink was responsible for site utilities, grading
and site related sustainable strategies in conjunction with a partner
civil engineering firm, Audu Engineering. The strategies included on-site
storm water reuse. This project, in the tight urban environment, required
close coordination by Moore & Bruggink with the City for utility service
connections and interface with concurrent City improvements to nearby
streets and utilities.
