Renovation of a museum in Northampton, Massachusetts. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a museum.

Funding is requested for design in FY28 and construction in FY29 for comprehensive exterior and interior upgrades to Memorial Hall. The historic 1872 municipal building requires substantial improvements based on recent design and facade evaluations. Scope examples include masonry facade restoration, window and front roof repairs, and interior office reconfiguration to optimize space use and address accessibility and safety requirements. Design will include cost estimating and phasing to align construction with operational needs. Previous work has already addressed rear roof replacement, new gutters and downspouts, foundation exterior waterproofing, and replacement of structural support columns. The next phase will continue the restoration and modernization effort, ensuring long-term protection and operational efficiency. The project is included in the City 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
