North Carolina Museum of Art

Over the past several months, Cooper Tacia has been doing renovation work on different levels of the North Carolina Museum of Art. We have been preparing the building for upcoming exhibitions by modifying wall space and floor plan layouts and by opening up windows for greater lighting. We have also expanded and renovated some classroom space that is used to teach children during field trips to the museum.

We have had a lot of fun working on the project! The entire museum staff, from the security guards to the maintenance crews to the folks in the Office of Planning and Design, have been a pleasure to work with. Sam Adams, the Project Manager for the Office of Planning and Design, oversaw all of our work from start to finish and is a very talented architect.

The original building was designed by a celebrated architect, Edward Durell Stone (http://www.edwarddurellstone.org/). His many works are magnificent and include the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, and the North Carolina Legislature Building. We appreciate that our State houses its $1+ Billion dollar art collection in a building that is a work of art unto itself. We are also very privileged to have the opportunity to leave our small mark on something so special.
