A planning project to adapt an existing museum space into an energy-efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective storage area for a 90,000-object collection documenting the history of York County, Pennsylvania.

The goal of the York County History Center’s A-Wing Collections Storage Project is to adapt an existing History Center exhibition space to create climate-controlled storage space for the History Center’s 90,000+ object collection which preserve and tell the rich history of York County and its inhabitants through time. This grant is for the planning phase of this project that would explore passive and mechanical means to adapt the space. It would fund the assistance of professional architects to create a building proposal for the space in preparation for seeking an implementation grant to carry out the renovation of the space.
