Vocabulary

What do the words in bold below mean? Take some notes on a piece of paper to aid your memory:

The map details renovations to a museum and the surrounding grounds from 1990 to 2010. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the museum itself decreased the square footage for exhibitions and outside there were significant alterations to the surrounding area to allow for greater access and leisure.

Internally, the museum in 1990 contained a store room in the top left corner, various exhibition spaces on all sides, and a small shop in the bottom right. By 2010, the only modification was that the shop was extended towards the left at the expense of the adjacent exhibition room.

Outside the main structure, the largest single change was the expansion of the car park on the right side which subsumed a garden beneath it. The paths and roads as well as the garden above the car park were unchanged. The final difference was the cottage in the bottom left corner across from the museum was renovated to become a cafe.
