The AK360 project – an ambitious campus development project for the Albright Knox Gallery – will double the number of masterworks the museum can display and will also provide state-of-the-art space for presenting special exhibitions. The project will enhance the visitor experience at the museum, creating more space for education, dining, and social activities, while better integrating the campus to the landscape of Frederick Law Olmsted’s Delaware Park.
Under the plan developed by OMA in partnership with Cooper Robertson as the executive architect, the new building will add 29,000 sf of space for displaying special exhibitions and the museum’s world-renowned art collection. The new building will also incorporate several visitor amenities and is envisioned to have a wraparound promenade that visually and aesthetically connects the interior of the building with the existing campus and landscape.
