National Corvette Museum

In 2008, Sherman Carter Barnhart Architects was commissioned to design a major expansion of the National Corvette Museum, located in western Kentucky and dedicated to showcasing the greatest American sports car, the Chevrolet Corvette. This ambitious project introduced a museum store, library archive, conference center, and cafeteria, all thoughtfully arranged along an interior streetscape called “Corvette Boulevard”, creating a cohesive, immersive circulation experience that celebrates the Corvette legacy.

Adam served as production manager for the design development phase of the project, overseeing coordination of drawings, documentation, and technical details to ensure the design vision was realized accurately. As a Corvette enthusiast himself, contributing to a project that honors one of America’s most iconic sports cars was particularly meaningful.

The design balances operational functionality with visitor experience, allowing the museum to accommodate larger audiences, provide modern amenities, and offer flexible spaces for exhibitions, events, and archival research. “Corvette Boulevard” serves as a dynamic spine, connecting the museum’s diverse program elements while enhancing engagement, storytelling, and discovery.
