Restoring & opening intrepid?s sick BAY [the intrepid museum, centered on aircraft carrier intrepid, a national historic landmark, is applying for funding to undertake its largest restoration project since 2008: opening intrepid?s 7,000+ square-foot medical facility, known as sick BAY, as well as the spaces along the sick BAY pathway, including the ship?s post office, barber shop and a berthing/torpedo handling compartment. The sick BAY area, a complex environment that, on its own, is the size of a small museum, presents unparalleled opportunities for engaging our visitors with themes grounded in humanities through exhibitions and education programs. Through this 2.5-year project, the museum will complete the infrastructure work required by the building codes and safety standards, allowing US to open this fascinating historic naval medical facility to the general public for the first time since the ship?s decommissioning, all while maintaining a delicate balance of historic integrity with accessibility and visitors?
