The Museum of Television & Radio, which houses a collection of more than 75,000 television and radio programs has opened its West Coast doors. The museum now has two locations: New York and Beverly Hills.

The museum was designed by the internationally admired architectural firm of Richard Meier & Partners. ACCO partnered with the consulting engineer to provide design-assist services for the HVAC system to not only fit within the museum’s architectural design but also within the owner’s budget.

The Museum of Television & Radio is a nonprofit organization founded in 1975 to collect and preserve television and radio programs and to make them available to the public.

Located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Beverly Drive and Little Santa Monica Boulevard, the museum features a two-story sky lit rotunda entry, a 150-seat theater, a radio listening room, a screening/education room, and a museum shop.

The HVAC system ACCO installed consists of a small air-cooled chiller with two air handlers. A variable air volume system services the main museum with a constant volume system serving the theater. Heating is accomplished by fan-powered boxes with electric heat.
