BNIM was commissioned to design and oversee renovations to Kirkwood Hall, the ceremonial heart of the Nelson-Atkins Museum. The Hall is the main artery between the original building and the Bloch Building addition. The project included renovations of Kirkwood Hall, the north and south entrance and the entry vestibules. Renovations included: restoration of decorative plaster coves; the construction of plaster beams; the painting of the beams to match the original ceiling; the restoration of historical light fixtures; the installation of lighting fixtures designed to illuminate the coves; and the specification of new glazing for saw-tooth skylights, and the laylite ceiling.
