In this regard, art lending institutions require the strictest control ol air quality, temperature, and humidity, with lighting that reflects the true presentation." In addition to temperature and humidity control, it is necessary to filter all the; air supplied to the galleries, it is carbon filters to remove airborne gases and media filters to remove small airborne particulate to Merv Hi ( equivalent to HEl1A liltration for clean rooms). The galleries are maintained at a positive pressure with respect to adjacent spaces to ensure surrounding air cannot enter the gallen beforebeing filtered and tempered. Owner: Art Gallery of Alberta. Architect: Randall Stout. Structural engineers: DeSimone; BP-TEC DNW Engineering (associate). Mechanical-electrical engineers: IHF. Stanlec, Lighting. Lam Partners.. Other key players: Head Jones Christoffersen (curtainwall), RWDI snow, wind, ice, GHL (code), Newcomb & Boyd (acoustics), Ledc-or (construction manager).
