So seumNews Constrnctio a91place for people, artand action Although the ceremonial groundbreaking back in September of 1998 delivered the pomp and circumstance worthy of such an occasion, it doesn't compare with the excitement of actually seeing construction equipment onsite at the Museum! The bidding process was finalized this spring when the construction contract was awarded to Gray Construction Company of Watertown, South Dakota. In early May, work started on the demolition phase of the project, which is currently running ahead of schedule according to Museum director, Lynn Verschoor. "It's heartbreaking to see the demolition," Verschoor commented, "but we realize that this is just the first phase of a project that will provide so many exciting opportunities for growth and activity at the South Dakota Art Museum." The walls of the original building have been stripped down to the outside shell, and ground has been cleared on the south side of the Museum to make way for construction of the 8,555-square-foot addition. Construction is projected to last well into the summer of 2000. Moving the colledi back into the building and preparing exhibitions will take several additional months. __ _ Barring complications, the renovated and -,_ expanded Art Museum is expected to reopen late in the year 2000.
A crane is used to remove two exterior concrete panels from the south side of the Art Museum to make way for the new addition. ;; 30
