Ken - We are about to move into a new facility of 190,000 at a
construction cost of about $28 million = $147.37/SF. This dos not include
any cost for exhibits, architects, furniture, landscaping, etc., just the
building. You may wish to visit our web page or visit with me about
it(strategic planning, fund raising. etc.). There are photos of the
construction on the web page.
