LACEY, WA, April 6, 2012: The City of Lacey Historical Commission is inviting members ofthe public to share ideas for a new museum facility that will be dedicated in 2016, marking Lacey’s 125 years as an established community and 50 years of incorporation. The new museum, which will be reminiscent of the city’s original 1890’s train depot, will be located adjacent to the Lacey Woodland Trail near Clearbrook Drive.
The city will hold a series of design workshops at various stages of the planning process. The first workshop, on Saturday, April 14, from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m., will be a general brainstorming session, with additional workshops held on April 28 and May 5 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. to refine alternative design concepts and identify preferred solutions. The sessions will be facilitated by MerrittArch, an architectural firm with extensive experience in museum facility planning and design.
Participants can attend any or all of the workshops, which will be held in the City Council Chambers at Lacey City Hall, 420 College Street SE. Registration is not required. For more information, please contact Amber Raney, Lacey Museum Curator, at araney@ci.lacey.wa.us or (360) 413-3557.
