This 31,000 square foot addition to the existing museum involves a combination of renovation and new construction. The expansion opened to the public on October 19, 1999. The addition houses galleries, office space, classrooms, and staff workshop and storage areas. Ann Arbor, MI.

Since designing the museum’s expansion that opened in 1999, Cornerstone Design has continued to work with the museum on major exhibit projects. The latest and largest of these is an exhibit on the science of construction, housed in a “building in a building” constructed within the museum gallery. The enclosure includes cut-outs showing the various layers of materials in walls and roofs. Planning and fundraising for the exhibit was done by a cross-disciplinary team that included architects, developers, contractors, union representatives, and museum staff.

CDI also provided a house plan for an exhibit within the structure on reading archi-tectural drawings. Ann Arbor, MI.
