the kimball art center has unveiled renderings of its proposed expansion which will double the cultural institution’s space to 30,000 square feet. designed by bjarke ingels group (BIG), the plans include building renovations in addition to the 15,000 square foot expansion of the center’s current main street location. additional exhibition halls, social areas and increased administration spaces have also been incorporated within the design.

expanding the campus, kimball art center also plans on renting or purchasing a second plot, creating further opportunities for art appreciation and education. the second site will primarily house education studios and programs, and will allow kimball art center to proved a greater range and frequency of classes, more parking, and easier accessibility for student drop offs.

once plans have been approved for the project, construction is scheduled to begin in 2015.
