The Huntington Children’s Museum is lead by a grass roots organization looking to improve the entertainment options for families in the Tri-State. While providing additional entertainment, the organization hoped that the new museum will entice families to remain in Huntington or attract new residents. The project began with the purchase of a 5,700 square foot former restaurant space in West Huntington. The building was then rehabilitated to meet current building codes, including providing new mechanical and electrical systems. The space was remodeled to host a variety of exhibits for the kids, featuring a range of topics and sensory items.
ETA worked closely with the Contractor and Owner through the construction process. The team worked to create an adaptable construction phase to accommodate the fluctuating budget as new funding opportunities were explored.
