The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

Through several open-end contracts and major design commissions, Mueller has engineered MEP and fire protection systems for a variety of modernization projects at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Our work at this iconic example of Mid-Century Modern architecture spans more than a decade, focusing on patron comfort and safety, performance enhancement, energy efficiency, and operational improvements in visitor services and production staging.

Mueller has completed more than 70 improvement projects, including the renovation of the Terrace Theater, the Theater Lab, the South Block Concert Hall, and the Film Theater. Highlights include the renovation of the Family Theater and the Eisenhower Theater and the transformation of the elegant Russian and Israeli Lounges. Other projects have ranged from lighting and life safety system upgrades to renovations in the parking garage, service tunnel, and office and storage areas.
