This approach is an affordable way to give a robust look to Richlite tops while still maintaining the same durability.

In addition to a robust local outreach program, the Society sponsors numerous fellowships every year for academics and creative professionals to come study from all over the U.S., thus offering continued support for valuable scholarship and original research. > > The expansion provided sorely needed space for public programming, conservation and mechanical equipment, while presenting an open and welcoming face to the public. The new wing allows AAS to expand its programs for K–12 education, visiting scholars, and the general public. The new conservation suite expanded the department’s training and research capabilities, as well as the breadth of its treatments. The renovation provided all new, archive quality climate control throughout 32,000 SF of stacks, and new human comfort with relative humidity control at the reading room. Stack lighting and fire alarm were both upgraded. > > It was important that AAS, as a major research institution, remained available to the public during renovations. The project team developed a phasing strategy that allowed staff and collections to remain on-site throughout construction, and almost no days closed, even though the project involved replacing virtually all existing mechanical equipment and duct & pipe infrastructure. ### Looking for Samples?
