Forest Electric New York installed lighting, dimming, fire alarm, and power distribution systems for this extensive renovation of the Brooklyn Museum of Art. 

The project involved helping the building achieve compliance with current fire code standards, updating the electrical infrastructure for the gallery spaces, and adding a new café/gift shop and a high-end restaurant. 

Leveraging our experience working in the museum on previous projects, our team was well prepared to perform the necessary work without disturbing open sections, allowing the museum to remain open during construction.

We replaced the building’s existing electrical services and renovated its 32,000 square foot basement, including the following systems/equipment:

  • Distribution panels
  • Lighting
  • Dimming
  • Security
  • Fire alarm
  • Kitchen
  • Audio

The Brooklyn Museum is one of the oldest and largest publicly funded museums in the U.S.
