MIB FEATURED ASSOCIATE MEMBER The Architects Behind the Montana Heritage Center more than 20 years in the making, the $107 million Montana Heritage Center expansion and renovation project has resulted in a state-of-the-art facility that houses the state’s historic collections and resources, serving as a place for learning and discovery. The Montana Heritage Center expansion and renovation were designed by MIB Associate Member Cushing Terrell, under the direction of principal architects David Koel, Anthony Houtz and Martin Byrnes. The goal of the project was to “preserve the past, share our stories and inspire exploration.” The project nearly doubled the size of the existing building, adding 66,000 square feet of new space, as well as exterior and interior renovations to 66,995 square feet of the existing 1952 Veterans and Pioneers Memorial Building. The design seamlessly melds old and new, utilizing the space between the two structures to create a dramatic entry that connects the two facilities. 14 Community Banker
