Community and Education Spaces - 10,000 square feet - a new community and education space will expand the The Dalí’s proprietary and pioneering creative-training program. The museum’s InnovationLabs program “inspires new ways of thinking by applying Dalí’s imaginative approaches to artistic problem-solving to business and institutional design.”



In building additional community space, the museum hopes to have the ability to hold larger events with a capacity of up to 350 seated guests. In the funding request application, the museum states that it has “had to turn away approximately 130 event inquiries annually due to a capacity constraint of 120 seated guests.” The expanded Dalí Museum will be better equipped to facilitate weddings and other large community events.

Parking garage - 150,000 square feet - the largest part of the expansion will be used for parking which will increase the number of spaces from 130 to 410 spaces. While the garage would primarily cater to the museum, it would also be open 24/7 to the public. The museum says the garage is needed to meet the “urgent need” for parking in the area. While there is a parking deck next door to the museum, it is primarily used for the Mahaffey Theater is often filled to capacity.
