The scope of the Core Project was to preserve the historic exterior of the building while improving the museum s exhibition capabilities by returning underutilized back-of-house spaces to public use. The design comprises nearly 90,000 square feet of renovated or newly created space. Of the latter, William Forum will serve as the venue for a wide range of activities while also connecting the ground floor to the upper levels. The Vaulted Walkway, spanning the entire length of the building, has been refurbished and opened to the public after being closed for nearly 50 years. In addition, several areas housing office spaces and retail operations have been converted into galleries, increasing the museum s exhibition area.
