SAINT JOHN, N.B. — The New Brunswick Museum's new 130,000-square-foot expansion will be integrated into the neighbourhood, the city and the province, according to the architecture firm behind the design.
The museum needs a variance to reduce the amount of required parking, but the 75-spot lot will be provided as a snow-ban lot to residents, Kirchner said, and staff will park at the nearby Lancaster Avenue building where the museum plans to continue to operate. Each wing is the same proportion as the portico of the original building, he said, and a central corridor allows light to pass through from the west and east sides of the building.
One of the properties being acquired, 241 Douglas Ave., is a heritage property built in 1881 which the museum has asked to have de-listed so it can be demolished. On April 3rd, the board gave its approval to the move, and it will be considered by council on May 13, the same day as the rezoning. He said it was his first opportunity to speak on the project and felt like they hadn't got the"opportunity" to fight it.
