Join IAMFA for our next IAMFA Online session on Monday, May 18, 2026 featuring an in-depth discussion on two remarkable museum restoration and infrastructure projects at the Art Institute of Chicago and Field Museum.

This presentation will explore best practices for performing structural repairs within active museum environments through two compelling case studies:

• The restoration of the historic c. 1893 loggia structures at the Art Institute of Chicago
• Structural modifications supporting the installation of the new SUE Gallery at the Field Museum

Presenters will discuss lessons learned, coordination strategies, and the collaboration required between engineers, contractors, and museum facilities teams to successfully execute highly complex projects while minimizing disruption to museum operations.

• Mike Stensland — Pepper Construction Company
