Renovation Updates
 Oh my! Is it 2019 already? Staff here at the Pratt are excitedly preparing for the action items that need to happen before opening in May, while construction workers plug away at important details like ramp rails, lift infrastructure, and the new entryway! Scott has his hands on not only the layout of where all the exhibits will go in the newly renovated galleries, but also the plans for the special exhibit opening on First Friday in May. Savanna has been measuring where cabinets and collections will be placed, so that as soon as the building is prepped and ready, objects  can be moved to their new home locations. Preparations and plans have also started for a Grand Opening Celebration weekend in May, and staff can't wait to share details about that, soon! Keep an ear out for how you can score an awesome Hardhat Tour of renovations in action, and save the dates for May 3 and May 24-26, our Official and Grand Opening days!
