In what will be the final phase of its three-part renovation, Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield will update its first floor, including the gallery spaces, lobby, museum shop, and aquarium. Working with architect and designer Yo Hakomori of Studio Hau, based in Los Angeles, California, Bradley Architects Inc., based in Pittsfield, and Development and Construction company Skanska, the museum said it is nearing the completion of the design development stage for the project and plans to begin construction sometime in mid-2024.
The reimagined first floor will pay homage to the museum’s past while infusing permanent exhibitions with contemporary fixtures and refreshed gallery spaces. The renovation will also double the size of the museum’s iconic aquarium, which will allow for the introduction of new species (including a jellyfish tank) and create an experience that blends with the existing fine art, science, and history collection.
