New $18 million, 33,000 sf cultural center with permanent and rotating museum galleries, a 600-seat auditorium, classrooms, collections storage space, offices, café and gift shop. The facility has a state-of-the-art climate control system to improve preservation efforts and enable the display of rare artifacts. A 3-D printing lab allows delicate, irreplaceable items to be scanned and duplicated for further study. The primary public and exhibit spaces are on the main floor level. The non-public spaces, located on the lower level, were custom built to include contamination and restoration rooms and a research room for collection and archives.
