The new wing connects to the
Museum at the south rotunda
and the central core. The massing
of the addition (while sympathetic
to the older neoclassical building)
develops its own unique character by exposing the program
requirements of the major interior
spaces. It does this in volumetric
forms that show changes in roof
line, as well as in elevation. The
fenestration is responsive to
interior need, solar exposure, and
site relationships. Materials on
the exterior and interior are in
harmony with the color and material palette of the old building, as
well as fitting in with the central
campus in general. The redesigned landscape also integrates
the Rodin Sculpture Garden into
the overall ensemble.

The original Museum—completed
in phases between 1891 and
1906—was severely damaged in
the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, when four wings of the
original complex were demolished. In 1989, the Loma Prieta
Earthquake inflicted damage on
the remaining original buildings. A reconstruction, a seismic
upgrade, and a new wing now
compose the Cantor Center for
Visual Arts.
Over nearly a century of use, Palm
Drive had developed potholes
and other road degradation, due
to poor drainage in this area of
the campus. Rehabilitation of
the roadway included installation of the originally intended,
Olmsted-designed granite curbs
and decorative slotted drains—as
well as major realignments at the
