Scope of work includes construction of buildings 14, 12, and 10-storeys high. Phase 1 of the redevelopment would see the collections and archives housed in a new two-tower development of 14 and 12 storeys to be built on a parking lot behind the current main museum building. Demolition of the 14-storey Fannin building, which houses its collections would follow. In their place, a new 10-storey Galleria building will be constructed that would serve as the new entrance to the museum and would contain a new temporary exhibits gallery, shops, cafes, office space and a community gallery. The redevelopment includes 300 underground parking spaces. Space would increase to 890,000 sq ft from 314,000 sq ft. |
