Campaign for the East Wing (2)

Article Abstract:

The University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia has launched a fund raising campaign to finance the construction of a collections storage and study wing. Called the East Wing, the proposed building will boast state-of-the-art storage equipment and innovations in climate control and is expected to provide benefits to the museum beyond the physical structure. The East Wing will not only improve artifact conservation but also facilitate collections arrangement, inventory and access.
