Spencer renovation plans revealed

COURTESY SPENCER MUSEUM OF ART AND PEI COBB FREED AND PARTNERS A graphic rendering shows the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art with a glass entryway and expanded lobby. The first phase of the renovation is scheduled to begin in the fall and will remodel more than 15,000 square feet of interior space.
Pei Cobb Freed and Partners, an international architectural design firm, revealed its $5 million design plan for phase one of the major renovation and expansion plan for the Spencer Museum of Art on May 29.
Phase one, which is scheduled to begin in the fall, will remodel more than 15,000 square feet of interior space inside the museum, including tripling the size of the lobby and the visitor orientation space.
Saralyn Reece Hardy, museum director, said the renovations would affect students.
"We're committed to having the museum be both a place of education and learning, but also a place where students can feel at home in," Hardy said. "There will be a much more inviting entrance and a much more interactive space when you come in."
The central court and adjacent galleries will also be renovated with floor-to-ceiling windows to fill the gallery with natural light and allow visitors to connect with nature while overlooking Marvin Grove and the Campanile.
To further achieve the museum's mission of strengthening and supporting teaching, learning and research,the phase will also introduce a new gallery that will allow faculty and the public to explore and learn more about the museum's collections
The project will also include an additional study room named after Stephen Goddard, the museum's associate director and senior curator. As well as doubling the storage space
Hardy said that the museum is still in the design phase, but the renovations will incorporate new technology, such as a video wall that will appear in the front of the building. She also said there would be a central staircase to create better circulation for visitors inside the museum.
PeiCobb Freed and Partners has designed over 20 museums, including the Louvre in Paris and other pieces of work across the globe.
for the museum, Hardy said the room will provide increased access to students, researchers and patrons with the museum's collection of more than 18,000 works on paper.
Designer Yvonne Szeto and Bruce White will lead the project with assistance from Sabatini & Associates, a Lawrence architecture firm selected to be the associate architect.
"The renovation is really for the students now and for the students in the future," Hardy said. "We're very excited to be looking ahead on behalf of the students."
