2010.03 Provo National Museum COBO Event

On March 20, 2010 The Tuks & Caicos National Museum and Lee & Astwood Architects revealed the concept design for Providenciales' very own branch of the National Museum. This gala fund raising event included cultural entertainment by David Bowen at the Regent Palms Resort.

The Turks & Caicos National Museum located on Grand Turk has been pursuing a dream for the past 10 years of expanding to Providenciales. A critical mass of local and international interest has sparked a growing momentum towards realizing that dream. The Board of Trustees commissioned Lee & Astwood Architects to produce a conceptual design for presentation at the gala fundraiser, which signals the beginning of a discussion of what the Provo National Museum ought to be.

Beginning with a draft space program provided by the National Museum's director, and informed by several of the Museum's Trustees as well as the experience of life in Providenciales' climate and culture, Lee & Astwood has crafted an arrangement of functional spaces and skinned them in a modern and graceful container. Envisioned to be developed in phases, the introductory phase would occupy approximately 10,000 square feet.
