Renovation of grand reading room, including new entrance, glass storefront and oversized art wall installation. Exquisite finishes include terrazzo flooring, wood panel ceilings and plaster columns with hand-patina brass accents.

"I wanted to thank you all for the great job you did on the Moelis Grand Reading room getting it ready for Alumni Weekend.  The space looks fabulous – the flooring, glass, wood ceilings, furniture, and of course the art.  This was a really hard job to pull together in such a short amount of time and the team from Clemens came through with flying colors. I look forward to ...working with Clemens on...many more in the future.”
