North Carolina Museum of Art

The museum expansion is on schedule and the new building is slated to open in April 2010. Staffers move in earlier as they oversee the relocation of the museum's permanent collection of over 5000 items and pester the IT/MIS guys until all their computers are up and running.

The 127,000 square foot building was designed by noted architect Thomas Phifer of Thomas Phifer and Partners, New York. The museum's 164-acre campus is the nation's largest museum park with walking paths, bike trails, ecological projects conceived with artists, and site-specific commissioned works in a rolling green landscape.
