Earlier this week, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston revealed the design of its upcoming $450 million Fayez S. Sarofim Campus. As a milestone in the institution's 90-year history, the 14-acre redevelopment will transform the MFAH and its surrounding neighborhood the city's effort to improve the pedestrian experience. The redevelopment will be integrated among historical buildings created by William Ward Watkin, Mies van der Rohe, and Rafael Moneo, and an Isamu Noguchi-designed sculpture garden.

The 14-acre expansion will consist of three new buildings. Steven Holl Architects will design the Nancy and Rich Kinder Building for 20th and 21st-century art as well as the new Glassell School of Art. Lake|Flato Architects will design the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation Center for Conservation. A landscape architect is yet to be appointed.

Check out some details on each building below:

The Nancy and Rich Kinder Building: A 3-story building to house the Museum's vast collection of 20th and 21st-century art. The 164,000 sq.ft building will add 54,000 sq.feet of gallery space and provide space for educational programs, a theater, and connectivity to the Glassell School of Art.

The Glassell School of Art: Replacing the school's existing 35-year-old building, the new L-shaped 80,000 sq.ft. and 3-story facility will include active social spaces; 34 art studios and classrooms; a street-level cafe/art supply store; and a stepped amphitheater that leads to a walkable roof garden.  A broad-stepped staircase activates the center of the school’s interior.

The Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation Center for Conservation: A two-story, 30,000 sq.ft conservation facility that will house the work of the Museum's art conservators and scientists. Located atop the Museum's existing parking garage, the project repurposes an underutilized area of the campus and will bring the Museum’s conservation teams under one roof and in close proximity to the Museum for the first time. The project is currently in the concept phase, with a design anticipated in early 2016.
