The project involves the design and fabrication of the Lobby Leaf Sky Sculpture, a one-of-a-kind art installation intended for the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science. The document outlines the conceptual design and specifications for this custom sculpture, which represents a sole source procurement from SRS Fabrication Inc.
