In 1998 M. Goodwin Associates proposed a strategic plan for the long-term expansion of the Yale University Art Gallery. We outlined a series of goals for ready access to artworks, and for the museum's exhibitions, collections priorities, staffing, education and outreach, academic programs, special events and other subjects. The project goal was to completely renovate the historic Kahn building, then to expand into the adjacent Swartwout and Street buildings, while creating a new (Site II) art storage and study center less than two blocks away. The complex, multi-phase, ten year plan required temporarily moving all the large scale art to a remote facility, development of interim office and art seminar/lecture/storage facilities, full renovation of the Kahn building with the adjacent two buildings, and then the construction of the art study and storage center. Thus the first major phase is now complete and YUAG is in the home stretch. The storage center is now in development, and it will be shared with the Yale Center for British Art. When finished, the project will make Yale a world premiere location for the teaching, study, exhibition and interpretation of fine art.
