Sculpture Garden Expansion Update: 1/16/19

The Sculpture Garden Expansion project is 70% complete with an anticipated finish date late Spring, 2019.

All of the land elements—the amphitheater, outdoor classroom, east and west lawn, and cypress island—have been formed and are in the planting stage.

The weir is constructed and in place. The weir will allow for changes in water level to address flooding potential in the lagoon and re-oxygenate the system as it flows through the garden.

The Sculpture Pavillion, which will also be free and open to the public 7 days a week, is constructed, and interior and exterior finish work are underway. This space will feature sculpture and other works in NOMA’s collection that complement the garden’s installations.

All supports for bridges and boardwalks are in place, and bridges and boardwalks are now being constructed. The canal bridge has been formed and concrete has been poured.

The lagoons in the expansion site will be filled in stages with a target completion date of March 1, 2019.

NOMA looks forward to an ongoing dialog with our neighbors as the expansion project progresses. To get involved, ask questions or request further information, please contact Margaux Krane at press@noma.org
