ORANGE, CA—R.D. Olson Construction has been selected by Chapman University to convert a 10,000 square-foot industrial building into the Hilbert Museum of California Art.

The Irvine-based general contractor was selected by Chapman University to construct the new museum which will be located on N. Atchison Street in the heart of Old Towne Orange, adjacent to the University's campus.

The Hilbert Museum will draw from more than 500 California scene paintings from the collection of Mark and Janet Hilbert. The artwork has been featured in several museums throughout California including the Santa Monica California Heritage Museum and the Irvine Museum. The updated space will also incorporate other artistic disciplines, with dance studios, classrooms and offices. The museum complements the cultural development occurring in Old Towne Orange, including the construction of Chapman University's new Musco Center for the Arts.
