    ROCKLAND — The Center for Maine Contemporary Art has announced that demolition of the existing building at 21 Winter Street in Rockland is scheduled to begin on Monday, Oct. 27, and will take one week. The existing building will come down entirely within the first two days, followed by debris removal and site clearing. Once demolition is complete, construction of the new 11,630-square-foot Center for Maine Contemporary Art building, designed by Toshiko Mori Architects, will commence immediately.

    The general contractor for the project is Cold Mountain Builders of Belfast. The new Center for Maine Contemporary Art is expected to open in Rockland in summer 2016.
