U of M Bell Museum

Built on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota, the James Ford Bell Museum of Natural History features 2 floors of world-renowned Minnesota wildlife dioramas and the 120 seat Whitney and Elizabeth MacMillan Planetarium Theater. The project included painting of exposed ceilings of both exhibit-filled floors, as well as 230 gallons of Intumescent Coating at exposed structural steel trusses. In total, just over 1,800 gallons of paint were used.
