Title
Cade Museum Project Update (B)
Explanation
In partnership with the City of Gainesville, the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention will be a cornerstone of the newly revitalized Depot Park - one of the most important environmental reclamation and urban renewal projects in the city's history. The actual Museum was conceived as a building that will flow naturally into the landscape and master plan for the reclamation and renovation of Depot Park. In addition to state of the art exhibit galleries, the 45,000 square foot facility will include science labs, workshops and studios for use by visitors, school groups and others, and a dedicated space for hosting top traveling exhibits. The building is also designed to serve as a venue for meetings and community events. The Cade Museum will be much more than a building. It will be an extraordinary community resource that will be an important part of Gainesville's future economic development.
Dorrie Hipschman, Executive Director of the Cade Museum Foundation, will provide an update on the next steps for the project and share the critical dates and timeline for moving forward.
