KAI Texas has been selected as the project designer for the new home for the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.

KAI will guide the architectural design for a multi-million dollar renovation to a 31,000-square-foot space at 3520 E. Berry Street, Fort Worth, that will house the new museum. The facility opens in 2013.
