Now, the site will be closed to the public as the Pulitzer turns Spring Church into more permanent use, saying it will
      • repair the masonry, ensure ADA accessibility and further stabilize the structure while maintaining its architectural character
      • retain the open roofline, a feature that has made the building an iconic site in the neighborhood
      • add features to enhance the visitor experience including handrails, a repaired staircase and infrastructure for electricity and lighting, among others
      • make minor improvements to the adjacent lot north of the church, which will remain a publicly accessible outdoor green space.

The Pulitzer is working with St. Louis-based Vessel Architecture and Design. Along with the undisclosed cost of renovations to the building, the Pulitzer has paid a "small fee" to Grand Center Inc. for the site, said Katie Hasler Peissig, who is the museum's director of marketing and communications.
