Part of a development that rehabilitates historic school buildings and adds 492 apartments, the museum seeks to revitalize a long-neglected part of southwest D.C.

Completed in 1962 and abandoned in 2001, Eero Saarinen’s bird-like building at JFK Airport in New York now serves as a spectacular lobby for the new hotel.

The project will transform and expand the school’s primary facility.

The architectural team of Mecanoo and Beyer Blinder Belle has been hard at work on the New York Public Library’s master plan for more than a year.
