Longwood Reimagined will transform 17 acres to enhance the visitor experience and to expand its exhibitions and events.
It will include a 32,000-square-foot-conservatory designed by WEISS/MANFREDI as 'a living and breathing glass house, with walls and roofs that open and close in response to the weather'.
The opening of Longwood Reimagined will be celebrated with two weeks of festivities.
