Emory Hill and Company Completes Construction of New Delaware Children’s Museum at Former Kahunaville Site

New Castle, Delaware (April 2010) Emory Hill and Company, construction manager for the project, has completed construction of the Delaware Children’s Museum (DCM) at the site of the former Kahunaville in Riverfront Wilmington.

Construction began on August 24, 2009 and maintained its schedule.  The opening gala was held on April 9.  Vice President Joe Biden was in attendance, along with 900 supporters.  The museum will open as scheduled on April 24. 

While the landmark volcano is no longer a part of the façade, the framework remains, a future option for the museum for a kid-centric design.  The interior of the facility has undergone thorough renovation and exhibits have been installed that are specifically designed for kids with themes from nature to banking.

“We’re very excited to have been a part of this project,” says Bob Liberato, Chief Estimator and Director of Business Development for Emory Hill.  “Certainly, buildings create urban and suburban landscapes but few help build character, teach life lessons, and inspire for generations.  It’s been an honor to manage a project like this and to see it take shape on the Riverfront.”
