Permian Basin Museum Plans Modern Exhibition Building
The Permian Basin Petroleum Museum Library and Hall of Fame in Midland outlined a two-wing museum building on a 41 acre site along Interstate 20. The plan features a central six story height with a 7000 square foot main floor, a separated basement storage area, a large orientation space, and ramps for accessibility. The Give for Greatness campaign targets 500000 in new funds to expand to about 30000 square feet and cover opening costs. Construction is expected to start late 1973, take 12 to 15 months with 3 more months for installation, and aim for a mid 1974 public opening.
