WCMA New Building Community Forum

Williams College Museum of Art leadership and the project team presented the design, project schedule, construction plans, and next steps for the new museum building on Monday, March 11, 2024, at The Williams Inn.
The new Williams College Museum of Art is conceived to serve the college, the local community and visitors to the Berkshires. The new museum will be a space designed with students in mind, fostering a sense of belonging for campus members and the wider community, and an inclusive experience for all visitors. The building will offer substantial gallery space for showing more of the 15,000 works in the museum’s collection, as well as facilities for easy access to collections for student, faculty, and visiting scholar requests, and more object study classrooms. The design will be completed by SO-IL, the fast-rising Brooklyn-based firm led by Florian Idenburg and Jing Liu.
This community forum will serve to share the schematic designs with the Williams community and provide a platform for their thoughts and feedback as important stakeholders in the process of building WCMA’s new home.
