The Museum project is a new cultural arts destination on this university campus that restores an art museum presence to the campus community after nearly fifteen years following historic flooding in 2008. The new home for the Museum reunites the University with its extensive and renowned collections of African Art, 20th Century Art, as well as Jackson Pollock’s Mural. Designed as a rectilinear solid interrupted by interconnected voids, the Museum’s carefully crafted form provides a protective and respectful home for the collections while creating intentional connections to nature and daylight.
