Overview
We created a new covered entrance to the Museum for easier access adjacent to a major highway.
Goals
The goal was to create an iconic image that would enable the museum to establish a higher profile in the community.
Process
The primary collaboration was with the Executive Director of the Museum, Kendall Smith, who, as a former marketing executive, understood the potential of the project for awareness as well as a provision for shelter. Architect Kurt Wahl was instrumental in shaping structurally sound plans and coordinating with city agencies.
Additional Information
This was a remarkable opportunity to maximize the benefits for a community while pursuing needed infrastructure. The reception has been wonderful. Please see the testimonial from Kendall Smith in my references section.
