With a bright yellow façade punctuated by porthole windows, this expansion doubles the size of the existing museum. The project increases access to the institution's 27,000-item permanent collection through expanded exhibition space and the addition of a children''s library, wireless networking for digital exhibitions, 200-seat theater, neighborhood computing center and Kid''s Café that opens onto a rooftop terrace. Designed to become the first children''s museum in the country and New York City's first museum to attain LEED (Leadership in Energy and Enviromental Design) certification, the building utilizes renewable and recycled-content materials and incorporates photovoltaic panels and a geothermal heating and cooling system.
