in the facility’s north portion as an interim solution for the School of Music.

When: Future remains in limbo.

Cost: The museum sustained about $4 million in damage, primarily to its mechanical and electrical systems.

This internationally celebrated building, designed by New York architect Steven Holl, was built just two years before the flood. When it reopened last year, it was the first major recovery project completed on campus.

While the original building met the threshold of 50 percent damage necessary for FEMA to cover the costs of building a new facility, because of its historical
