Johnson Receives $500K To Launch Construction

February 13, 2008 - 12:00am
By Therese Lahlouh

Thanks to a recently acquired $500,000 grant from the Kresge Foundation, Cornell’s Johnson Museum of Art is one step closer to starting construction on a $20 million addition on its north side.

The Johnson has no windows for the first 50 feet on the north side of the building because, according to Franklin Robinson, director of the Museum, the original architects of the building — including world-renowned architect I.M. Pei, and John Sullivan ’62 — always assumed that an addition would be placed there.

“It took 35 years [for us to build the addition], but they were right,” Robinson said.
