The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art is the largest museum/university complex in the nation. A new roof was needed on the main museum to ensure the artwork inside the galleries was not compromised in any way. The balustrade rail, cornice, cast stone and statuary were repaired and a clear repellent sealer applied to prevent further damage. The interior renovation project included the addition of two handicapped accessible restrooms, modifications to the existing restrooms, and a wheelchair lift, all of which reflected the architectural style of the museum.
The beautiful marble loggia was in need of replacement, as cracks had appeared in the tile floor and water was leaking into the basement below. Under the project, the marble was removed and replaced to match the existing marble and a waterproof membrane was applied to prevent damage to the storage rooms .
