The new 37,500 square-foot building will have flexible exhibition space and a 15,000-square-foot sculpture garden.

It’s a property fitting for the museum’s mission of providing an open and dynamic platform for the most experimental artists of today.

The building, designed by Spanish firm Aranguren & Gallegos Arquitectos, is set to open to the public in 2017.
