Green light for Hadid’s Michigan art museum
 


Zaha Hadid Architects’ art museum for Michigan State University has been given the go-ahead by the college’s trustees
Work will start on March 16 and the building is scheduled to open in 2012. Hadid is expected to attend the ground-breaking ceremony.

She won an international design competition for the 4,000sq m Eli & Edythe Broad Art Museum in January 2008, beating Austrian firm Coop Himmelblau and American firms Morphosis, KPF and LA-based Randall Stout.

The university trustees authorised the start of construction at a meeting on December 11.

The three-storey building, which features dynamic glass and metal pleats, according to the university, is set to be a world-class venue to showcase the university’s permanent collection and to attract major exhibitions.

The museum is named after philanthropist and former student Eli Broad and his wife, who donated $26 million for the project in 2007 — $18.5 million of which was for construction costs.

It was the largest gift ever made to the university.
