The proposed expansion wing would connect to the existing museum and accommodate expanded gallery, public and support spaces. Portions of the existing museum would be renovated, including an expanded restaurant. The ticketing lobby now located in the atrium would be relocated to the second floor, so that the ground floor of the museum, including the Third Street atrium and new ground floor gallery on Howard Street would be publicly accessible without charge.
