Summary

Construction of the National Museum of the American Indian's Cultural Resources Center begins in September, 1996. Located in Suitland, Maryland, the Center has three purposes: to house, protect, and care for the more than 800,000 objects in its collection; to serve as the focal point for research, community service, and outreach; and to support the Museum's facilities on the National Mall and in New York City. The opening is planned for 1999. Funding is provided in part by the Kresge Foundation; Clark Construction Group, Inc. is the general contractor for the project.
