This 100,000sf total project consists of 40,000sf building addition and rehabilitation of the existing museum building to create a generous entrance and museum lobby as well as a courtyard. The building will house a changing exhibition gallery, education center, 264 seat theater, 64 seat screening room, video screening gallery, video production suite, collection storage, cafe, museum shop, and a outdoor exhibition and screening garden. The facade of the building addition is a unique rainscreen panel system of sharp-edged triangular panels that appear to float from the face of building with deep shadow joints. The project will greatly enhance the operations, exhibitions and educational programming of this unique New York museum.
