Tampa, FL Architect for new building E. Verner Johnson and Associates has recently designed the new 60,000 SF Tampa Bay History Center. It is currently under construction on a waterfront site in downtown Tampa positioned along the southern end of a two-mile long pedestrian riverwalk that connects many of the museums and cultural facilities in the city. The new museum will tell the rich history of the Tampa region through immersive and interactive exibits and theaters, designed by Christopher Chadbourne and Associates. The building is also designed to help draw together the diverse cultures and communities in the region through dramatic interior and exterior gathering and function spaces. The multi-level atrium lobby is filled with susended colorful exhibit "icons" representing Tampa's history and culture. http://www.tampabayhistorycenter.org/
