The Perot Museum of Nature and Science has unveiled plans for a $185 million expansion in Dallas. The project is designed by Morphosis, with Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates leading landscape architecture and The Beck Group serving as architect of record.
The plan covers a four-acre campus expansion and would add 60,000 square feet of outdoor science exhibits and landscaped public spaces. The museum says the addition will double its exhibition space.
Planned features include a pollinator garden, a paleontology garden, and interactive exhibits focused on weather, water, and natural forces. The expansion also calls for a redesigned entrance and lobby.
Other elements in the proposal include upgraded educational and dining facilities, along with a new parking garage. The museum has not announced a construction start date in the source material.
