More than a building... a community resource
Verner Johnson museum architects and planners developed the initial vision for the Cade Museum for Innovation and Invention. With more than 200 projects in its portfolio, Verner Johnson has planned or designed more museums than any other architectural firm. Its projects have included every type of museum, and have ranged in size from 7,500 to 1,250,000 square feet. International work includes projects in Europe, Hong Kong, China, Dubai, New Zealand, South America, and the Caribbean, with clients including the Smithsonian Institution, the Louvre Museum in Paris, and the Urban Council in Hong Kong.
For the Cade Museum in Gainesville, the firm has conceived a building that seems to flow naturally into the landscape and master plan for the reclamation and renovation of Depot Park. In addition to state of the art galleries, the three story, 55,000 square foot facility will include a theater, science labs for use by schools and others, a restaurant and a dedicated space for hosting top traveling exhibits. The building is also designed to serve as a venue for meetings and community events.
The Cade Museum will be much more than a building. It will be an extraordinary community resource that will be an important part of Gainesville’s future economic development.
