Since its founding in 1988, Jeffrey Berman Architect has been providing the American Museum of Natural History with architectual services. The firm has always sought to address the Museum's total needs including progamming, strategic planning, feasibility analysis, design work and construction phase services.

Projects have included new galleries, gallery renovations, research and curatorial labs, departmental offices, archival grade collections storage, infrastructure analysis and upgrade, and the adaptive reuse of historic buildings. Prime consideration in all work: operability, maintainability, and constructability with minimal disruption to continued operations.

In designing galleries, the goal has been to improve public experience as well as the artifacts' environments. In terms of labs, the firm has provided technologically advanced work environments with a unique character. In respect to collections, small spaces have been optimized for maximum storage with a rigidly controlled environment.
