Flexible Architectural, Planning and Museum Related Services
Our museum planning & architectural services are tailored to the specific project location, type, size and schedule. Our Teams include museum architects, planners, and museological specialists. We collaborate on projects in a variety of ways, from the overall design team leader to a museum specialist consultant on teams led by others.
VernerJohnson often draws upon our extensive worldwide network of Professionals, including Cost/Economic Consultants, Engineers, Landscape Architects, Specialist Consultants, Exhibit Designers, Lighting Designers, Exhibit Fabricators, and Construction Firms. In the initial planning stages our teams tend to include only the key team members and specialists.
