After concerns were raised about a smaller than envisioned new Bell Museum of Natural History, the layout’s size has been increased.
The decision was announced after a meeting held for the project’s stakeholders Saturday morning on the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul campus, where the new museum will be located.
Under the updated conception, features like a basement, additional exhibit and meeting spaces and room for catering will be included — features that weren’t incorporated in previous renderings of the building.
