Envisioned as a new home for the UMass Amherst Museum of Contemporary Art, this renovation, addition, and historic preservation project puts the art on display to the public via a translucent panelized facade with an integral, fully adjustable wall track display system. Major utilities are concentrated at the core of the existing building to free up the perimeter for gallery spaces.
The new addition is designed to direct pedestrian traffic through the
building’s galleries and onto Stockbridge Way. A central, multi-tiered
atrium space celebrates the intersection of the modern addition and the
existing historic structure.
