PACIFIC MINERAL MUSEUM
VANCOUVER, CANADA

The Pacific Mineral Museum is a privately funded museum located in the renovated Ceperley Rounsfell Building in Vancouver. The ground floor of the building was reconfigured to accommodate a gift shop, an introductory gallery, and support functions. Concrete shear walls were introduced to provide a stable base for the new second floor. The original vault door was uncovered behind a wall during construction and reused in the new museum vault exhibit on the second floor. The building was fully upgraded with the addition of two mezzanines to highlight the heritage detail of the original ceiling.
