Volmar Construction Inc. is proud to have played a pivotal role in the renovation of the Queens Museum, one of New York State’s iconic landmarks. This project revitalizes a key cultural site and enhances the visitor experience, contributing to community enrichment and cultural heritage.

The Queens Museum, located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, is housed in the historic New York City Building, built for the 1939-1940 World’s Fair. The renovation aimed to expand and modernize the museum while preserving its historical significance. The project began with careful planning and collaboration among Volmar Construction, designers, and architects. The goal was to create a cultural hub that meets modern museum needs while respecting the building’s historical integrity.

Key features, like the southern wall and window system, were restored to preserve original details. A new 15,000 square foot children’s museum was added to engage young visitors. The project prioritized sustainability with energy-efficient upgrades and sustainable materials.

The team also minimized disruption to museum operations, allowing it to remain open during much of the renovation. The renovation of the Queens Museum has significantly enhanced community engagement. The new children’s museum has become a popular attraction, drawing families from the region.
