The term "museum quality work" transcends its exhibits origins and is an equally apt description of the high level of construction workmanship that John O'Hara brings to its museum projects. The firm knows and understands the unique needs of museums to have the highest quality workmanship, because of their high public visibility and traffic.

O'Hara also understands that for most museums to sustain their economic lives, they cannot afford to close down during renovations. Consequently, the firm is skilled at working with designers to organize work on a phased and/or fast track basis, according to the client's traffic or scheduling needs.

Environmental control systems are another crucial area where O'Hara's experienced field supervisory personnel are constantly on the alert. Heating, ventilation, dehumidification and air conditioning systems cannot be "good enough"—they must be perfect to protect the museum's delicate exhibits against deterioration from airborne and other pollutants.

Security systems...fire protection measures/equip- ment...art storage areas...and crucial access/egress requirements for exhibit shipping and storage, are only a few of the other special concerns of museums. When you really do need "museum quality work", you need the John O'Hara Company.
