Developers build 90+ story buildings in less time it the AIC's addition to open, and the addition is actually two-thirds security, admin and education department space--not actual gallery space. In that regard, it will be the third largest addition, exhibition space.

90+ story buildings are cookie cutter buildings. The Modern Wing is somewhat more complex with a much more robust mechanical system than a simple high rise.
Please consider that the original building that was demolished housed a large portion of security and admin staff. The new building houses this staff as well as expanding the art space by a third. |
