Alterations

Inside, the retail and exhibit spaces were reconfigured to accentuate the existing wooden structure and improve visitor flow. The carpet was removed in order to expose the original concrete floors which were ground down and polished. The central heating unit was replaced with a new zone-controlled, electric heating system, and single-pane windows were removed in favor of new, high-performance glazing designed to eliminate reflection. FFA also designed an outdoor covered visitor assembly area with accessible seating and drinking fountains to address increased visitor traffic during the summer months.
