Museum of the Bible is a 430,000-square-foot facility. It includes major renovations and additions to a historic brick building originally built as a refrigerated warehouse in 1922. The brick façade remains in place, while the renovations and additions include a 500-seat performance hall, ballroom, restaurant, and function spaces. The new rooftop features a curved aluminum framed glazed curtain wall assembly with channel glass infill, skylights, zinc batten panel roofing, and a green roof system.
