Includes records related to the Building Stream of the Renewal Project (MRP). The purpose of this stream was to expand and enhance the existing MOA built space, with the following specific objectives:
• To build a new research centre comprised of four Research Suite including laboratory spaces, individual and group work spaces, and office spaces.
• To construct new storage space, including visible and compacting storage, to house MOA’s and the Laboratory of Archaeology’s (LOA) collections
• To respect the building and its exterior as a significant architectural heritage site in the renovations plans
• To create spaces where community members may gather and attend to collection objects in ways that respect their cultural traditions
• To improve the Museum’s financial viability by expanding revenue generating facilities such as the retail store, and by making its building operations more efficient
• To create enhanced Visitor Services for Museum users, such welcoming and warm arrival spaces which ate self-orienting and which provide all needed amenities
• To create efficient and supportive work spaces for staff, students, researchers, and volunteers
• To provide a welcoming and comfortable environment for all researchers using MOA’s facilities
• To provide enhanced teaching support within the new facilities
