The Butz Family of Companies is proud to share that two of our recent renovation projects have been selected as 2026 Lehigh Valley Business (LVB) Top Projects award recipients. This year’s recognized projects, the National Museum of Industrial History Second Floor Renovation and the Allentown Art Museum Kress Gallery Renovation, demonstrate our team’s dedication to revitalizing key community landmarks through thoughtful, high‑quality construction.
The renovation of the National Museum of Industrial History’s second floor focused on creating a more dynamic, visitor‑focused environment. Our team upgraded infrastructure, enhanced exhibit flexibility, and preserved important architectural elements, resulting in a refreshed space that supports expanded programming and a richer educational experience. The improvements ensure the museum can continue sharing the stories of America’s industrial while also hosting events in a setting that is both modern and historically respectful.
The Allentown Art Museum Kress Gallery renovation brought new life to one of the museum’s signature exhibition spaces. With upgrades such as advanced lighting, refined finishes, and better environmental controls, the gallery now offers an elevated atmosphere for displaying the renowned Kress Collection. Working within an active museum required careful planning and coordination, and our team delivered a smooth, efficient renovation that enhances both artwork preservation and the overall visitor experience.
The 2026 LVB Top Projects awards will be presented on March 11, 2026, at the Real Estate & Development Summit and Top Projects celebration. This annual event highlights standout construction and development work that has strengthened the Lehigh Valley over the past year. These honors reflect not only the craftsmanship behind each project but also our ongoing commitment to enriching the Lehigh Valley’s museum and gallery landscape through meaningful, community‑driven construction projects.
