Renovations Completed on NY Botanical Garden Conservatory
EW Howell Construction Group recently completed renovation work on the palm dome of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory at The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) in the Bronx, which reopened to the public on Sept. 22.
Launched in April 2019, the $18-million restoration project upgraded the infrastructure of the 118-year-old dome, home of the Haupt Conservatory’s Palms of the World Gallery, to ensure that the palms on display continue to thrive.
The project also provided an opportunity for NYBG horticulture curators to redesign and replant the collection to highlight the history of tropical plant research at NYBG and the ecological and economic importance of the palm family.
“Renovations for cultural institutions present unique challenges and we were honored to be chosen by The New York Botanical Garden to restore the palm dome, one of New York City’s most iconic structures,” said EW Howell VP Bob Zirkel.
