Visitors to the Surrey Museum can expect to see the
beginnings of a construction site when the building reopens
for the season on February 7. The Phase 2 expansion begins in
January, making room for 12,000 square feet more culture!
The new design will be an elegant ‘wood first’ structure with a
breezeway connecting the new building with the existing museum.
With ample glazing, visitors will be able to see into the Museum
both literally and figuratively.
New makerspaces and expanded community event space will
create a community hub for tours, workshops and just hanging
out—both indoors and out.
The addition will include a flexible gallery for international
travelling exhibits and local community-curated exhibits. Growing
with the young population in Surrey, the existing sustainability-
focused Kids Gallery will triple in size.
Stay tuned to Facebook or for updates.
