The Bronx Museum of the Arts opens its three-story North Wing
Work on a $19 million expansion of the Bronx Museum of the Arts started in February 2004, and the new three-story North Wing at 1046 Grand Concourse opened in October 2006. The addition doubled the museum to 33,000 square feet. It brought a bigger entrance and two-story lobby, another gallery and improved space for education, with a second-floor sculpture garden at the rear.

Arquitectonica gives the museum's new wing a fan-folded aluminum and glass front
The firm Arquitectonica, with partners Bernardo Fort Brescia and Laurinda Spear in charge, designed the three-story wing, built from 2002 to 2006 for the Bronx Museum of the Arts. Its Concourse front is a fan-fold of aluminum and glass under a marquee. The side walls of dark masonry block, patterned in a contrasting color, were treated as temporary because the museum planned to expand on both sides.
“Fan-fold facade of aluminum and glass... the north and south facades are considered temporary; the museum has plans for expansion on both sides…”
