Located on a wooded hillside, these three new buildings are constructed on pilotis in order to accommodate volatile soil conditions and meet the older buildings at their elevations. The cantilevered porches are reminiscent of tree houses and when the copper clad buildings develop patinas, they will further disappear into the treetops.

“The keys to a good art building are space and light; room to work and a place to stand back and admire what you have done….Cunningham Architects has met the challenge with the additions to the Haggerty Art Center”

“[The exhibit] comes off beautifully, thanks to the flexible spaces of the 2,000 square foot gallery located in the art history building, which is a part of the new Haggerty Arts Village designed by Cunningham Architects. The fact that works of inordinate delicacy, of which there are quite a few, survive in the face of openly assertive ones speaks well for the surroundings.”
