News Coverage of the Grand Opening
This is what the project looked like hours before the Grand Opening…ready for all those kiddos!
Kappcon acted as the General Contractor to complete the remodel of a 1,000 sq foot Arizona State Museum gallery designed by Line and Space. The Arnold and Doris Roland Basketry Gallery, a part of the Woven Through Time exhibit, houses over 200 Native American artifacts from the Southwest. The renovated exhibit space effectively communicates the storied history of basketry’s ancient roots.
Upon entry from the lobby, visitors gain a dramatic line of site to the vault display, creating a powerful sense of arrival.
A compressive, abstract woven ceiling entrance marks the beginning of the visitor’s path. The woven steel conduit suspended from above creates a dynamic ceiling plane that echoes the weaves of a basket and ties the individual spaces within the gallery together.
Movement through the collection is an integrated flow between the past, present, and future of basketry.
The Gallery project will provide much needed public access, display, education and interpretive space for the Arizona State Museum’s Basket Collection, recipient of the Save America’s Treasures Award.

Catalina Terrace (CT) is a semi-public pool that has served families for 55 years in mid-Tucson…and it needed a restoration.
The Catalina Terrace Athletic Program community rallied under the leadership of a dedicated and passionate Not For Profit Board of Directors. They raised $220,000 for much needed improvements.
The project included complete pool shell renovation, pool plumbing renovation, electric, landscaping and perimeter fence/wall upgrades.
Kappcon was able to help the community by self-performing the pool deck and other concrete repairs, and perimeter wall masonry services.
Here is a look back at the work from the CTAP website posting:

Way up on Mt Graham, Arizona there is the Large Binocular Telescope Observatory.
This building experiences some of the most extreme environmental conditions.
To add to the excitement of the extreme environmental conditions, this building won’t hold still. It rotates 560 degrees and has two roof shutters that open and shut every night for a world class science program.
This summer our challenge was to improve existing metal roofs that have suffered damage due to falling ice and snow.
