The new addition to the Crocker Art Museum is huge! It is tripling the size of the museum as well as adding new features to enhance the visitor's experience at the Crocker.

There is a link that will take you to a live video feed of the construction in progress.

Last fall, I began a photographic essay of the expansion. I began shooting when the majority of the work was setting the footprint in place.The only new structures were the block building which is the equipment room and the basement with steel beams on four corners which is becoming the front of the new Crocker.


Seating is stadium-style.
