Conceptual Review for a Structure to Cover UWF Historic Trust Displays
end
BACKGROUND:
The UWF Historic Trust is seeking conceptual review for a structure to cover a locomotive, flatcar, and restored caboose along the side of the Museum of Industry. This covering will help protect three of the largest collection items on display. Being mindful of the historic building and sensitive archaeological site, the proposed design minimizes ground disturbance and physical connections to the brick building. A row of metal columns between the train and the building wall will support a translucent panel system used as roofing. The design takes inspiration for the industrial nature of railroads, historic train sheds, and the adjacent historic commercial buildings.
Please find attached all relevant documentation for your review.
