Location: Denver, CO

Focus on Design:
Beyond its striking exterior, the design of The Denver Art Museum’s new Fredrick C. Hamilton building was firmly centered on innovation in architecture and design. LINX played an important role in designing and implementing the building’s innovative and “future focused” network infrastructure.

Account Overview & Scope:
The Fredrick C. Hamilton building at the Denver Art Museum’s main facility in Denver, CO presented LINX with a unique opportunity to contribute to an overall project that was clearly focused on innovative technologies that are designed to last long into the future. The building’s network infrastructure required installation of CAT6, 4-pair UTP copper cable throughout a unique and complex interior space. Integration between network infrastructure and interactive audiovisual stations required effective communication between LINX and the DAM to produce a functional and unique environment for museum patrons. |
In addition to creating an innovative network infrastructure to meet the needs of such a technology-focused facility as the new Fredrick C. Hamilton building, LINX was also challenged to implement infrastructure solutions that would function in conjunction with existing cabling at The Denver Art Museum’s North Building (first built in 1971). The project was a welcome challenge for LINX because it presented a great opportunity to implement a system that would bring the older facility up-to-date while also offering possibilities to utilize the most state-of-the-art technologies in the newer facility. |
The quality workmanship of LINX technicians is immediately evident in the neatly segregated cable bundles all grouped together with Velcro tie-wraps to make future changes far easier to execute. The museum's highly effective labeling scheme was crucial in organizing the multitude of technologies that were to be integrated over the network. This system, once again, offers the greatest flexibility for The Denver Art Museum for years to come. |
Focus on Innovation:
The 146,000 square foot museum features intricately integrated technologies in each of the gallery spaces to create a futuristic and awe-inspiring interior space. The technology required an equally innovative approach to designing its network infrastructure.
