Nestled in the heart of Rochester, New York, The Strong National Museum of Play is the world’s only collections-based museum devoted solely to play.
It is a vibrant symbol of imagination and creativity, and its expansion is not merely an addition of space but a significant chapter in the city’s regeneration story. The client was renovating and expanding to help match the updates happening in the community.
The expansion, skillfully managed by Project Architect Craig Jensen and Project Manager Michael Ellison of CJS Architects and executed by LeChase Construction, adds a staggering 90,000 square feet to the museum in a style that complements the developing “Neighborhood of Play.”
This new, walkable neighborhood aims to revitalize the downtown area, embedding The Strong Museum as a central, vibrant hub in the community.
