Art museum to undergo major renovation

TAMPA — The Tampa Museum of Art has unveiled plans for a major renovation and expansion beginning this spring that will increase exhibition space, enhance existing educational facilities and allow for more hands-on experiences for visitors.

The improvements will be designed and directed by New York-based Weiss/Manfredi Architecture/Landscape/Urbanism, and construction will be overseen by general contractor Skanska USA’s Tampa operation. Weiss/Manfredi’s past projects include the Seattle Art Museum, the Women’s Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery; and the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, India, according to a statement.
