NELSON ATKINS MUSEUM OF ART

The Players

The Nelson‑Atkins Museum of Art is a 400,000‑square‑foot cultural landmark in Kansas City, Missouri, welcoming nearly one million visitors each year while safeguarding 5,000 years of priceless art. To support this mission, the museum partnered with Control Service Company (CSC), an experienced Automated Logic dealer known for its service‑first approach. Together, they support a complex, always‑on facility where visitor comfort and art preservation must coexist with absolute precision.

The Solution

To manage a diverse mix of legacy and modern equipment—ranging from pneumatic systems to newer technologies—the museum relies on Automated Logic’s WebCTRL® building automation system as a unified controls backbone. WebCTRL enables continuous data collection, long‑term trending, and intuitive visualization across the entire facility, from public galleries to specialized exhibition spaces. This visibility allows the museum to precisely control temperature and humidity, prove environmental stability over time, and confidently host sensitive traveling exhibitions—all through a platform the facilities team uses every day.
