We’re taking full advantage of the sunny weather we’ve been having here at the Muskegon Museum of Art. ☀ Pouring concrete is crucial to construction for several reasons. It’s the foundation for all subsequent operations. With concrete in place, other crucial tasks can continue smoothly, allowing each step to build upon this solid foundation. By getting the concrete poured now, our teams are getting ahead of the game, thanks to the favorable weather here in West Michigan. #BuildingSuccess #MuskegonMuseumOfArt #WestMichigan

"The Muskegon Museum of Art has revitalized the downtown area. Public art has grown in the community, with projects like the Muskegon City Public Art Initiative. And now another generation is coming up and being introduced to art museums,” Hallman said. "Art museums are community centers, offering programming and partnerships with other organizations." Hallman hopes the museum will have a bigger national footprint as it continues to grow. The museum continues to stay open to the community throughout the construction process. MMA is so thrilled to be a part of this project and we can't wait to see the lasting impact the museum will have on current and future generations. https://lnkd.in/dnz_NkzX Annum Architects (Formerly Ann Beha Architects), Erhardt Construction, Prein&Newhof, Construction Simplified #mathisonarchitects #mma #muskegonmuseumofart #expansion #bennettschmidtpavillion
