Adelaide Cobb Ward Sculpture Hall

Information

The design of the Adelaide Cobb Ward Sculpture Hall recognizes both the rich Beaux-Arts detailing of the original museum and the modern celebration of light and space in the Bloch Building. New stone portals between the Sculpture Hall, adjacent galleries, and the flanking corridors visually link these spaces together. The completed project acts as the heart of the existing Museum and its contemporary counterpart, providing uninterrupted circulation and display space from the grand central volume of Kirkwood Hall on through to the Bloch building. The renovations of the Atkins Auditorium, Atkins Lobby, and Atkins Stair Hall were also included in this project.
