Project: Museum and Performing Arts Security
Client: Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences
Construction Cost: $75 million
Scope of Work: The Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences is one of the most ambitious cultural and educational projects in the history of West Virginia. It is a culmination of two decades of planning and construction in the state’s capital city. The Clay Center includes a premier art museum, a first-class performing arts center featuring a performance hall, a state-of-the-art science center with two floors of exhibit space, a planetarium, a 70-mm large-format film theater, as well as virtual and hands-on educational programs.
