Victoria Art Gallery - Building Management System Upgrade

The Building Management System (BMS) requires capital intervention to replace obsolete plant and equipment. It is necessary for the Victoria Art Gallery exhibition programme to be able to borrow artworks from other national, international and public collections and to remain eligible for insurance underwritten by the Government Indemnity Scheme. In order to do so we must meet specific climate criteria for temperature and humidity, and be able to maintain a stable environment in the galleries. The current system longer meets the criteria and we are unable to effectively monitor and regulate fluctuations in temperature and humidity.
