Project Spotlight Milwaukee Art Museum
Overview: Some say the most spectacular part of the Milwaukee Art Museum is its pair of huge sunscreens. At the push of a button, they lift from the sides of the museum and spread into a beautiful pair of outstretched wings spanning 217 feet. But for those of us in the Maxxon family, the most exciting feature in the project is one that most visitors will never even notice -- the 60,000 square feet of Therma-Floor covering the structural concrete floor of the changing exhibition hall. For Acoustical Floors of Wisconsin, and the hundreds of other subcontractors who worked on the innovative project, it was a mark of honor to be selected. As Chris Smocke, owner's representative, stated, "Each professional knew that 'everyone else in the room' was chosen for a one-of-a-kind project on the basis of their expertise, and that created a culture of mutual respect." Though excavation for the project began in 1998, it wasn't until June of 2000 that the structural concrete was ready to be covered with an underlayment -- but another product had been specified. Undaunted, Acoustical Floors' Bob Gatchel convinced the general contractor to allow a test pour of Therma-Floor, and won the project, which was poured in December of the same year.
