.-Joslyn Art Museum executive director & CEO Jack Becker unveiled the design for the Museums expansion and renovation, led by international architectural firm Snøhetta in partnership with Omahas Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture (APMA). The new building will be named for Rhonda and Howard Hawks of The Hawks Foundation.
Scope of Project
Central to the 42,000-square-foot Rhonda and Howard Hawks Pavilion are abundant light-filled galleries designed to meet the demands of and explore the possibilities of a growing permanent collection. Visitors will find new community spaces, additional classrooms, and enhanced amenities that support increased public programs. In addition to the new galleries and public spaces, the architectural team will restore and modernize existing office spaces in Joslyns 1931 Memorial Building. The project also redesigns and rejuvenates more than three acres of public gardens and outdoor spaces on the Museum site. The site work includes a reorientation of the grounds around a reimagined point of public arrival anchored by an atrium named for Phillip G. Schrager.
