ST. JOHNSBURY — An addition to the front entrance of Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium is evidence that efforts are ramping up for the Science Annex project.
A temporary wheelchair ramp was installed Thursday. The contemporary metal structure is a bit out of character for the stone structure built in 1891, but the Main Street entrance addition is necessary to maintain public access for the high volume of visitors at a time when construction will commence on a new 6,000-square-foot, 3-story addition in the back. The old access ramp is located in the back and will be removed early next week to make way for the new project.
