Stepping out into a vast, empty space, the completely gutted second floor used to contain the admissions desk, gift shop, meeting rooms and staff offices. “This large open space is going to contain an atrium overlooking the glass entrance,” Buckner explained, pointing to where the museum’s gigantic glass walls will be located at the front of the building. “The second floor will also contain vaulted ceilings, which will allow us to bring in taller traveling exhibits. Plus we’ll have two meeting rooms with collapsible walls, which we can fold away to create one single larger space.” According to Buckner, plans for the museum’s first floor have been revised and updated. Rolling out the latest blueprints for the project, he pointed out how the new visitor experience will likely look once renovations are complete: Walking into the museum, visitors will be met with the admissions desk directly in front of them, with a staircase to the second floor to their left.
