Independence Seaport Museum

Independence Seaport Museum’s south entrance renovation transformed approximately 3,000 square feet into a more welcoming and accessible arrival experience. The reconfigured space includes a new entrance vestibule and ticket lobby designed to improve visitor circulation and create a clear transition into the museum’s galleries.

The scope included new aluminum storefront entrances, accessible automatic doors, fire-rated glazed openings, flooring, lighting, and supporting HVAC, electrical, security, and fire-protection upgrades. The improvements were carefully integrated with the museum’s existing boat shop, exhibition areas, and distinctive waterfront building. The project was completed in collaboration with A K Architecture.

I highly recommend the KMC team. We had the opportunity to work together on an ASC DeNovo build, and their performance exceeded expectations at every stage of the project. From initial planning and coordination through execution and completion, they demonstrated exceptional responsiveness, clear communication, and a deep understanding of the client’s goals and operational needs. Their expertise in navigating the complexities of a DeNovo ASC project was evident throughout the process. They were proactive in addressing challenges, collaborative in problem-solving, and consistently focused on delivering a high-quality outcome on schedule. The team’s professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to client satisfaction made them a trusted and valued partner. I would welcome the opportunity to work with them again on future projects.
