Engenium Group provided Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing design services for the fitup of the new museum space located at the Reagan Building.  The space blends the tech-focused characteristics of a science center with core elements of a children’s museum, stretching the target audience to age 12, and connecting the entire experience with a ‘dream motif.’ STEAM concepts are weaved throughout the design, incorporating the arts into STEM through dreaming.

The scope of work included:

• Selective demolition of base-building MEP systems to accommodate future renovation.
• Reconfiguration of base-building fire protection system.
• Extension of base-building plumbing systems to serve plumbing fixtures and exhibit features.
