Phase 3
Complete
“Back of House + Galleries: Phase 3 includes minor additions and renovations of existing spaces. The existing auditorium will have finish and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrades. The adjacent bathrooms will be renovated and expanded to meet current code. The back of house spaces will be clearly connected with additional storage for exhibition displays and an expanded new vault. The loading dock will be relocated and enclosed for secure art shipping and receiving. The existing vault adjacent to the Weisel and Kelly Galleries will be removed.
Once all phases of the master plan are complete, the current site would be fully built out and planned for the next 90 years of the museum. Completing all phases will address all aspects of the current museum. Depending on the phase strategy taken and the sequence of phases, further planning is needed to keep the museum operating during significant renovation or additions.
