Project Challenges Realizing the vision of architect Richard Meier’s design was the greatest challenge of The Getty Center project. Every single room’s length, width and height had to adhere to a strict 30-inch dimensional module, resulting in allowable tolerances that were essentially zero. This complex system was achieved through the use of some 1,200 different wall types. The quality of the finishes and the level of workmanship is a source of pride for every contractor who performed work on The Getty Center. Berger Bros.’ Role As the framing contractor, Berger Bros. was responsible for the correct size and location of each of the wall types, and was instrumental in making the modular system work. Berger Bros. also performed the structural steel fireproofing, the metal stud framing, drywall, taping and plaster finish on the Tram station that brings visitors to the complex, and five of the six buildings on the hilltop.  restoration |
