<p>Located on the <a href="https://archinect.com/schools/cover/17418/washington-university-in-st-louis" target="_blank">Washington University in St. Louis</a> Danforth Campus, the project includes the addition of a new academic building, Weil Hall, as well as extensive expansions and renovations to the existing <a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/47157/maki-and-associates" target="_blank">Fumihiko Maki</a>-designed Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum. These projects represent part of a much larger $280 million effort to rework the university's <a href="https://kierantimberlake.com/pages/view/462" target="_blank">East End</a>, and include replacing a series of disjointed surface parking lots and lawns with a grassy expanse dotted with trees. Master planning for the East End was led by landscape architect Michael Vergason. </p>
<p>Work on the remaining structures included in the larger East End plan is set to continue into 2021.</p>
