On the north side of the campus will be the Jeffrey E. Gundlach Building\u2014a work of signature architecture that adds more than 2787 m<sup>2<\/sup> (30,000 sf) of space for the display of special exhibitions and the museum\u2019s world-renowned collection of modern and contemporary art.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring a translucent glass curtain wall, the Gundlach Building furthers the museum\u2019s mission of accessibility and initiates a dialogue with the surrounding community, inverting the traditional model of the art museum as an opaque facility and creating tremendous porosity between the interior and the exterior.<\/p>\n<p>Galleries will be located on all three floors of the Gundlach Building, ranging from an intimate black box gallery on the ground floor, to the enclosed Sculpture Terrace on the second, to the expansive 700 m<sup>2 <\/sup>(7,530-sf) gallery on the third. Visitors would enter the Gundlach Building both from the ground level and from the subsurface parking garage. The staircase from the parking garage to the ground level will be adorned with Others Will Know, an innovative site-specific artwork by Swedish artist Miriam B\u00e4ckstr\u00f6m. The immersive woven tapestry was designed using 3D mapping and virtual reality technologies to create the illusion of depth, transparency, and three-dimensionality.<\/p>\n<p>To integrate the Gundlach Building with the museum\u2019s existing campus, OMA has designed the John J. Albright Bridge\u2014a unique glass-walled structure that connects the Gundlach Building with the Robert and Elisabeth Wilmers Building, designed by E. B. Green, and originally constructed in 1905. The bridge was designed with a unique, circuitous path from the second floor of the Gundlach Building to the main floor of the Wilmers Building to protect a grove of historic oak trees, ensure a slope compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and facilitate the transport of artworks from one end of the campus to the other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been amazing to witness our collective vision for the Buffalo AKG take shape in such a culturally and historically significant campus and city,\u201d said Shohei Shigematsu, Partner, OMA New York. \u201cThis milestone was made possible through the tireless work and effort of the design and construction team and Janne and the museum staff, with endless support from the Board of Directors and Project Committee. The project was designed to connect art, nature, and people by providing new links of access and radical transparency, and we\u2019re excited to see the campus come to life as it welcomes new activities and dialogues with global and local communities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The renewed and expanded campus of the Buffalo AKG Art Museum will stretch
