The Perot Museum of Nature and Science will be built on 4.7 acre plot at the corner of Field and Woodall Rodgers.This is the corner where Uptown meets Victory Park . If you have seen the renderings this will be a very impressive building. World class with out any doubt.
The Perot Museum will cost about 185 million dollars of which the Perot family have given 50 million dollars. The building will be 150 feet tall and have 180,000 square feet of space.Groundbreaking should be near the end of 2009 with completion in 2013. A large scale model will be available for viewing at the office on Field and Woodall Rodgers in the near future.
Woodall Rodgers has become the place to be in Dallas. The Calatrava bridge , the Arts District ,several new high rises , the Woodall Rodgers Deck Park and now this wonderful museum. With the Perot Museum and the Convention Center Hotel , the Woodall Rodgers Park and Mc Kinney Ave Trolley expansion downtown Dallas will be very busy for the next several years. Just a reminder that Harwood,at Woodall Rodgers, will be closed for ever sometime in October.
Thank You to the Perot Family and the other contributors for this amazing building.
