Institutional

Canning Studios has been entrusted with restoring historic landmark college and university buildings, libraries, and museums throughout the United States. Clients such as Harvard and Yale, the Boston Public Library, and the National Building Museum understand that they are stewards of important historical treasures that represent the character and stature of their institutions. Many directors and curators view their historic structures as artifacts in their own right and are as concerned with care of their buildings as they are about their institution’s collections of books, fine art, or artifacts.

Institutional clients are often concerned about efficient project management, safety, security, and how building projects will affect their personnel. They require highly qualified contractors to work on landmark buildings and have exacting standards for their restoration projects. Yet institutions must also work within budgetary constraints, carefully balancing initial project investments and life cycle costs. Canning Studios’ commitment to knowledge, integrity, and tradition delivers the uncompromising standards demanded by national historic treasures.
