The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art has shortlisted Studio Gang for the design of a new expansion on the Museum’s campus in Kansas City, Missouri. The expansion’s goal is to attract new audiences by creating a vibrant space to host more art, and new creative, immersive and energizing experiences. The project will integrate the campus, the Donald J. Hall Sculpture Park, and the two existing buildings into a cohesive new experience. This presents an exciting opportunity to contribute to the museum’s continued evolution and support its vision of being a welcoming, vibrant cultural center for all.
The development, designed by award-winning architecture firm Studio Gang, will consist of two towers, 16-storeys and 41-storeys, with residential, retail and community elements, separated by a public plaza that will restore connections between the surrounding neighbourhoods. The design of the development is rooted in the Indigenous principle of the Seven Directions of Connectedness while celebrating the historical importance and character of the iconic Art Deco Coach Terminal.
