Bruner / Cott integrated the galleries into MASS MoCA's existing plan by re-activating existing elevated connector - bridges and adding
new ones, and by creating a
new three - story lightwell for
vertical circulation and the admission of more light.
The 27,000 - square - foot structure, known as Building # 7, has been fully restored for the exhibition by Bruner / Cott & Associates architects, which has closely integrated the building into the museum's main
circulation plan through a series of elevated walkways, a dramatic
new vertical lightwell, and
new stairways.
