U-Michigan Names Museum Architect

“Brad Cloepfil’s Allied Works Architecture based in Portland, Oregon, has been chosen for the $35 million expansion and renovation of the University of Michigan Museum of Art in Ann Arbor. The project will include a 55,000-square-foot addition to the museum, which is housed in Alumni Memorial Hall, a Beaux-Arts landmark, located in the heart of the main campus. The hall itself will undergo a complete renovation. When everything is complete, the museum will more than double in size from 41,676 square feet to 95,396. Construction will begin when a fund-raising campaign winds down next year.”
