BBB’s Long Term Feasibility Study for The Metropolitan Museum of Art provides the Museum with a planning vision for the 21st century and a roadmap for implementing projects over the next 30 years.

BBB worked with the Met over a two-year period to identify, plan, and prioritize space needs for the main building on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Prepared with input from the Museum’s leadership, curators, and senior administrative staff, the study serves as a comprehensive framework for the major construction and infrastructure modernization projects to be undertaken in the coming decades.

BBB’s vision identifies a set of potential future projects that could address ongoing issues such as visitor circulation and wayfinding, art storage, art delivery, infrastructure maintenance, and the goal of maximizing opportunities for the exhibition and interpretation of the collections—including the desire to improve the galleries for modern and contemporary art. The study has led to multiple implementation projects both completed and currently underway by BBB.
