Conversion of this abandoned Municipal Hospital into a National Museum for Puerto Rico required intensive structural repairs and system replacements. The rehabilitation of the historical colonial building also included a new addition creating opportunities for an expanded identity while maintaining the historical nature of the project. Gallery and shop spaces were created in addition to administrative offices and meeting areas.
