A new addition that replaces an outdate portion of the museum's west end that houses a welcome center, an immersive multi-purpose theater, cafe, shop, and gallery support facilities. The new addition will serve as a “front porch” to the community.

As project architect, I steered the project through a post-COVID revisioning.  Responsible for design realization, consultant coordination, BIM coordination, permitting, construction administration, and LEED certification.
