The curator of the Cradle of Aviation Museum sent me some renderings from April 2020 by HLW of their proposed new building on Wednesday and generously gave me permission to post them. The building will be located on the site of Hangar 1, which burned down in 1981.[1] It will have two floors, 20,000 square foot each and, excitingly, the upper one will have a proper library, archives and collections storage!
