projects. Haley Sharpe Design of Leicester, UK was selected in June of 2002 as Exhibit Designer.
Working directly with the ROM’s Gallery Development Steering Committee, composed of ROM
curators and other staff members, Haley Sharpe
Design will develop some 250,633 square feet of
new and renovated gallery space, in addition to
104,066 square feet of related public spaces within
the Museum.

Renaissance ROM, which only a year ago
was an idea for a major capital investment, is now
a formally approved project, managed by
outstanding organizational teams both externally
and internally. To bring the international Project

Team members, City of Toronto officials
and community and business
groups assemble to discuss, evaluate
and manage this striking revitalization
of the ROM. We have already seen
the crystalline galleries refined, internal
spaces re-thought, surrounding
landscapes revisited, and gallery
space visualized. Success for any project
requires a remarkable plan and
even more remarkable team members—
the ROM is fortunate enough Above and page 8, views of the first design concept of The Crystal.
to have both for the Renaissance
ROM project.
The Renaissance ROM Campaign will be the impetus for dramatic renewal at the ROM, through
restoration of its original architecture, construction of a new signature building and creation of
much-needed new exhibits and galleries for the ROM’s foremost collections, including some important
collections with no permanent gallery at present—such as Textiles and Costumes, Japan, Africa
and others. It will permanently alter the ROM’s economic base, providing a sufficient annual market
income to sustain excellence across the board and reduce reliance on public funds for operations.
The future of the Royal Ontario Museum depends on its ability to grow, innovate and maintain
the highest international standards of excellence in collections, research, exhibition and education.
Renaissance ROM is embracing an ambitious future—one that will create new and exciting
opportunities—a crystal clear approach for the future. Imagine the Royal Ontario Museum as you
have never imagined it before . . . . Welcome to Renaissance ROM.
