Center for Architecture Construction Update

The Center for Architecture’s renovation project is on its way! Last week, 07.13-17.15, the Center’s offices were closed as we replaced the floors. Construction will continue through 09.01.15. We would like to remind you that, during this time, no exhibitions will be on view, but the space will remain open for programming and events.

Since opening its doors in October 2003, the Center for Architecture has hosted more than 2,000 events, 3,500 meetings, and 300 exhibitions. You have been a part of many of these achievements. Without your involvement, the Center for Architecture would not be the fast-growing institution that it is today. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and patience as we work to make the Center better than ever.

For more information on our renovation and how you can contribute, visit our Support page or contact Jesse Lazar, Director of Development, at 212-358-6108 or jlazar@aiany.org.
