The Steven Holl Architects–designed Glassell School of Art building will be dedicated on May 20, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston announced today. The 85,000-square-foot building replaces the former school building designed by S.I. Morris and Associates and built in the late 1970s. The Brown Foundation, Inc. Plaza by New York landscape firm Deborah Nevins & Associates with Nevins & Benito Landscape Architecture also opens that day.
The new structure and plaza, located at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, is part of a redevelopment of the museum’s Susan and Fayez S. Sarofim Campus, which includes another under-construction building by Steven Holl Architects. The campus redevelopment is expected to wrap by 2020.
