the historic staircase that was removed to accommodate
the parking lot that was built with the 1962 addition.
The materiality and form of the stair will be very similar
to the original with some simplification of the classical
stone detailing. The reinstatement of the stair creates
fall hazards at the Northwest and Southwest corners of
the portico plaza, as a result the balustrades have been
reshaped to comply with current codes for rail heights
at steps and landings. While there is a symbolic value
to the reinstatement of the stair, it will also serve as
our egress path from the west portico that will require
some illumination. It is our intent to integrate LED
illumination in the base of the risers.

The reinstatement of the stair creates direct access to
06
the new lawn area created by relocating the parking
function to an underground parking structure. This
reconnects the viewshed of the 1905 facade to

the park.

Unfortunately, this also introduces fall hazards
at the Northwest and Southwest corners of the
portico plaza. As a result the balustrades have
been reshaped to comply with current codes for
rail heights at steps and landings. While there is
a symbolic value to the reinstatement of the stair,
it will also serve as our egress path from the west
portico that will require proper illumination. It is
our intent to integrate LED illumination in the base
of the risers.

As the scale of artwork has only increased over
the past sixty years, the Albright-Knox’s greatest
challenge with respect to caring for its world-class
collection and operating an exhibition program
is the lack of a loading dock to move large-scale
works of art in and out of the building. The largest
aperture in either building is at the top of the
historic Delaware Stairs on the east side of the 1905
Building (the museum’s original entrance).

The absence of a loading dock requires that a crane
be deployed to hoist large crated artworks from the
bottom of the Delaware Stairs to a purpose-built,
temporary landing at the top of the stairs in order to
bring such artwork in through the Sculpture Court
doors. Although this transport method is against
national museum standards and best practices, the
limitations of the current buildings require that all
large artwork move in and out of the building in
this manner. One large-scale sculpture seriously
considered for acquisition by the Albright-Knox
over the course of two years (2014–16) was
ultimately rejected in large part because its crated
dimensions (even in multiple parts) were too large to
fit through the Sculpture Court doors—an indication
that the current facilities have begun to constrain
the museum’s mission as a collecting institution.
The lack of loading dock access to the galleries of
the 1905 Building is its greatest weakness.

With the proposed North Addition, a proper
loading dock is currently being planned along
with an accessible bridge to connect the loading
functions of the proposed North Building with
the 1905 Galleries. This will greatly increase the

The Bridge is thoughtfully designed to provide
a low sloped path for the movement of art and
visitors in a manner that minimizes the impact and
preserves the existing old-growth oak trees. The
structure of the bridge is cast in place concrete with
a steel frame mounted on top to provide structure
for the enclosure. The bridge walls will be clad
with full height mirrored glazing, adding a sense
of depth and movement. The roof, which will be
visible from the North building , will be clad with
metal roofing panels.
The moment insertion of the bridge into the 1905
existing facade was coordinated such that we
minimized disruption to the historic pilasters and
window openings. It is our intention to remove and
store the stone needed to create the opening and
save it for the necessary facade repairs.

In addition, we were able to taper the structure and
minimize the touchpoint of the bridge on the 1905
facade by locating all the mechanical equipment
serving the bridge in the proposed North Addition.
While this means we have a less efficient air
distribution system, it allows for this most minimal
interface possible.

A one-story aluminium and glass vestibule
protruding from the western elevation serves
as the museum’s entrance. The addition is split
along its east-west axis into two equal sections.
GALLERY
The northern half is defined by a large square
Sculpture Garden that measures approximately
80 x 80 feet and is surrounded by aluminium
and glass windows that look into the restaurant,
exhibition galleries, and offices. The southern half
is defined by the 80 x 80–foot “black box.” Much
of the building’s original layout remains today,
GALLERY
with two long hallways that double as gallery
space alongside the east and west elevations of the
building, a large staircase in the Northwest corner
of the 1905 Building that was designed by Gordon
Bunshaft to connect the two buildings, a large
gallery space in the southern half of the building
below the Auditorium, and a central Sculpture
Garden flanked on its north and south sides by
GALLERY
offices and a small restaurant, respectively. The
offices and restaurant largely occupy their original
footprint, though there have likely been material
changes throughout both. The most intact space in
the interior is the Auditorium, which is accessed
by two long staircases and opens up into a large
open volume enclosed by full-width glass curtain
walls. A shallow stage is located at the center of
the north side of the room, and approximately 10
to 12 rows of original chairs on slight risers extend
from the stage to the back of the room. A small
elevator and staircase were added at the western Existing Ground Floor Plans
end of the stage.

1962 BUILDING
Photography of Existing 1962 Building
The inconsistency and variety of dimensions and
shapes of the gallery spaces of the 1962 Building
present a perpetual challenge. These galleries are either
very long and narrow or rectangular. The majority of
gallery space in the 1962 Building is in the corridors,
where ceiling heights of 8 feet 11 inches do not permit
installation of works taller than approximately 6 feet.
This presents a significant limitation on the works that
can be installed in these spaces, as many artists working
after the 1950s did so on canvases that exceed 6 feet
in height. Furthermore, it is difficult to provide for an
appropriate viewing distance from larger works given
the narrowness of the corridors, which measure 11 feet
(north and south corridors) or 14 feet 9 inches wide
(east and west corridors). The installation of sculpture
in these corridors also causes jams in visitor flow that
endanger the safety of artworks; sculptures could be
knocked over by visitors in crowded spaces, and nearby
paintings are at risk of touches and bumps.

Images show side by side representation
of existing West Vestibule and proposed
expanded West Vestibule.
There are sliding glass doors proposed on
the West Facade to facilitate entering on
the East / West axis that now connects you
to Delaware Park.
We intend to carefully dismantle by hand
to the greatest extent possible and transfer
the components of the historic West
Vestibule to secure storage. The historic
materials shown will be numbered and
keyed into indexing diagrams to facilitate
the re-instatement.

We propose a new Vestibule and Entrance
Door on the East Facade in order to connect
the East side of Delaware Park with the
West Side that borders Elmwood Avenue,
creating continuity of the park from East
to West through the Indoor Town Green.

1962 SECOND FLOOR

This connection was designed to be similar

DEMOLITION KEYNOTES

The Sculpture Garden, in its original and current configuration,
was never fully functional, due to Buffalo’s climate. Changes
proposed will dramatically increase the functionality and use
of the 1962 Building, thus ensuring its viability and ongoing
preservation. We propose to do this by creating a welcoming,
beautiful, calming, and inspiring Indoor Town Green that serves
as a free space for visitors that extends the public space of the
surrounding Delaware Park into and through the 1962 building.

The covered courtyard will serve as the
nucleus of the free public entry of the
1962 building. The covered courtyard
by Studios Other Spaces, [SOS] will
be provided with a storefront enclosure
on the east and west axis that will allow
for a degree of permeability to and from
Delaware Park, the adjacent corridors and
Elmwood Avenue. The covered courtyard
is being conceived as a multi-functional
event space that can seat 300 and is served
by a catering kitchen. As the south side
storefront panels will be operable, the
courtyard can accommodate spill-out
tables from the AK café to animate the
space. The space will be programmed to
accommodate a diversity of performances
which might include: lectures / readings,
music and dance, visual art residency,
etc. As a large open space, the courtyard
will be ideal for the display of large scale
sculptures.

PROPOSED

1962 Courtyard Alteration
The interiorization of the Sculpture Garden
allows the re-thinking of the Courtyard
curtainwall.
The existing exterior courtyard enclosure
is being removed and replaced with a new
interior storefront in keeping with the
original SOM design. The two key items
in this refurbishment are the return to the
10 foot module about the columns as well
as the replacement of the grey tinted glass
with clear glass. The original finishes will
be respected and replicated. The fascia at
the roof interface will be preserved. As
much of the glazing will be retained as
possible especially at the four corners.

1. 1962 Original Courtyard

3. Proposed, Closed

2. 1962 Current Courtyard

4. Proposed, Open (New Ramp Visible Beyond)

The red courtyard floor tiles are not original
and are being replaced with Venetian
terrazzo composed of white marble chips
set in a white cement matrix to recall the
original white gravel. This floor system
is being laid out in a 5 foot module about
the mullions and columns with zinc divider
strips.

This is being proposed so as to open the
courtyard up to the adjacent corridors
as well as to emphasize the east / west
access through the site from Delaware
park to Elmwood Avenue via the new
east vestibule. The courtyard storefront
system will be designed such that adjacent
sill sections can be added in the future for
reversibility.

This is being proposed so as to open the
courtyard up to the adjacent corridors
as well as to emphasize the east / west
access through the site from Delaware
park to Elmwood Avenue via the new
east vestibule. The courtyard storefront
system will be designed such that adjacent
sill sections can be added in the future for
reversibility.

THORNTON TOMASETTI

NORTH BUILDING
MASSING
The Albright-Knox Art Museum
is refurbishing and renovating the
existing buildings and expanding with
the construction of a New Building
on its campus based on fundamental
institutional needs. These are spatial,
programmatic, operational, and facility
needs based on the urgent requirement
for more space, the museum’s aging
facilities, and a growing incompatibility
between these facilities and the
contemporary national standards and
best practices that are a criterion for the
accreditation of American museums.
The New Building will fulfill these
needs in part by providing additional
new flexible exhibition space with
state-of-the-art lighting, security and
movable gallery walls, consolidated
executive offices, a new art loading
dock and entry hall.
OMA’s aspiration for the North Building
is to make the footprint as compact as
possible and limit the height as much as
possible in respect to the neighboring
historical buildings, while maintaining
the AK’s needs for maximum clear
heights of the galleries.
Proposed Campus Site Plan

The North Building is placed right up
to the property line on the corner of
Elmwood Avenue and Iroquois Drive to
allow for the greatest amount of buffer
space from the historic buildings.

While the existing buildings are opaque
in material, the New Building is lighter
with a more transparent façade that
displays the activity and artwork within
the museum, reflecting the constantlychanging character of the building.

NORTH BUILDING
ELEVATIONS
Similar to the Neoclassical building,
the elevation for the North Building is
separated in a tripartite division with
the gallery volumes at the base, the
sculpture terrace at mid-point, and a
light veil on top, giving the overall
composition a more human scale
that references classical divisions in
architecture history.
The mullion spacing and the architectural
details of the North Building recall
the colonnade and the compositional
rhythm of the 1905 and 1962 Buildings.

Center of gravity.
Stone Displacement Hemicycle Cornice
Existing Condition: Stones at the cornice were observed rotated outward away
from the building. Rotation was found to
be caused by water infiltration at the roof
above which lead to freeze-thaw action to
the underlying mortar. No lateral restraints,
in tandem with the poor center of gravity
of the cornice stones, lead to the rotation of
the units (the frieze stones below were also
found to be loose).
Proposed Changes: Address water infiltration issues by replacing the roofing.
Remove, tag and salvage historic stones.
Repair underlying brick masonry and reinstall historic stones with mortar to match
existing. Match existing stone in color,
texture, strength and composition. Add

Stone Displacement at 1st Floor Belt
Course
Existing Condition: Existing stones at the
first floor belt course were observed with
significant displacement. Displacement was
found to be caused by freeze-thaw jacking
of the backup brick masonry. The existing white Vermont marble on the façade
was tested and found to have excellent
freeze-thaw resistance, while the backup
bricks were found to have a very high rate
of permeability which contributed to their
disintegration.
Proposed Changes: Address water infiltration issues by replacing the roofing.
Remove, tag and salvage historic stones.
Replace underlying brick at stone areas that
exhibit over ½” of displacement with severe weathering brick and reinstall historic
stones with mortar to match existing.
Mortar type will be specified based on the
analysis of existing mortar. It is assumed
that type “O” mortar will be used, and
installed compacted in 1/4” lifts. Stone will
be replaced with existing salvaged stone if
possible, or replaced with marble to match
existing.
Work will be phased so that alternate stone
sections are replaced to avoid destabilizing
the wall. Shoring will be required.

Mortar/Sealant
Existing Condition: Sealant was installed
in joints that were originally intended to be
mortar joints. The sealant is trapping water
behind the wall causing the stones to spall
from freeze-thaw action.
Proposed Scope: Remove non-historic
sealant to allow water that has accessed the
wall to drain out. Remove existing sealant
and replace with mortar that matches the
original mortar on the building in composition and color. This will restore the
function of the mortar joints as an inherent
drainage plane for masonry walls. Mortar
type will be specified based on the analysis
of existing mortar. It is assumed that type
“O” mortar will be used, and installed compacted in 1/4” lifts.
Any spalls to be repaired with stone dutchman repair. Use stone salvaged from the
new opening in the façade where the north
bridge will connect.
At this stage, we assume Cathedral Stone
Jahn M120, or Edison Coatings Custom
System 45 MR will be acceptable for
patching.
