High Museum Expansion & Renovation

The High Museum campus expansion, designed in collaboration between Renzo Piano Building Workshop and Lord Aeck Sargent, involved a comprehensive effort to accommodate the growing needs of Atlanta's major cultural institutions. This project introduced a cohesive arrangement of new structures including museum buildings, an office space for the High Museum of Art, and residential and educational facilities for the Savannah College of Art and Design. The design integrates these elements around a new public plaza, opening the campus to the surrounding urban fabric. Additional elements such as an underground parking garage and restaurant further support the function of the campus, providing necessary infrastructure while maintaining a village-like atmosphere intended to foster engagement with the arts.
