Project Summary
The Marbles West Courtyard Enclosure is a renovation and addition along the facility’s South Blount Street front. The ground-floor work includes infilling an existing courtyard with 2,600 square feet of new interior exhibit space and renovating adjacent existing multipurpose space.
Second-floor work includes an additional 2,600 square feet providing a new stair enclosure and a new rooftop courtyard for play and events. The stair enclosure will be activated to enhance the proposed exhibit and will serve the purpose of improving connectivity between existing areas of the museum while integrating access to both floors of the new addition.
As part of the project, Marbles is developing a new interactive and immersive exhibit. The project design will respond to and enhance the exhibits planned within the space. Exterior improvements along Blount Street include activating the exterior with new graphic façade treatments to help connect and identify the Marbles Campus.
