Commercial Roofing
The Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louisturned to a team of experts who designed and installed a reroofing project that delivered artful results on a tight timetable.
Known locally as CAM St. Louis, the museum is part of the city's popular Grand Center Arts District. Its 500,000 annual visitors are just shy of double the city's year-round population. Exhibits rotate annually from an off-site collection of more than 36,000 objects and display around 2,700 pieces. In 2021, the roof protecting these precious objects started to fail.
The design and implementation for reroofing the two-story, 16,135-square-foot museum posed challenges, including retaining aesthetic features while improving detailing, the addition of permanent rooftop safety equipment, and performing all work within a scheduled two-month shutdown of the museum.
