Delaware Children’s Museum

Adaptive Reuse of a former entertainment venue into a vibrant, interactive museum.

This project involved the renovation of a former industrial space, previously home to the landmark Kahunaville Restaurant and Bar, into a vibrant children’s museum. Work included complete interior demolition, installation of new water and sewer lines, and construction of interior spaces with pre-planning for future structural exhibits. The renovation also featured custom-painted concrete flooring and extensive exterior façade rehabilitation.

“The construction of the project was completed on schedule for each phase of the construction sequence. The office and onsite management of the job was performed in an efficient and highly professional manner. Emory Hill has constructed an excellent facility which will serve the Delaware Children’s Museum extremely well today and for future generations.”
