The William B. and Maureen Miller Building

Cranes in March 2005 placed nearly 70 concrete and steel piers that will support the new addition. (first two images) The final piece of concrete was removed from the Johnson building in March 2005 where the new connecting corridor will be constructed. An overview of the construction, looking south down Shoreline Blvd. was taken in May 2005.

With the rebar in place, construction workers poured the slab for the Miller building at 1:30 a.m. on June 8, 2005, and framing quickly began. Over the summer, workers erected the structural steel framework for the building. By early August, the distinctive Legorreta "pyramids" had begun to take shape. Interior view (September 2005) of the building showed increased progress throughout the fall.
Exterior view (November 2005) also showed rapid progress on the pyramids. View from the Harbor Bridge of the Art Museum and the new addition, February 22, 2006.
By August 2006, the final
copper panels were being installed on the exterior walls and pyramids.
On October 8, 2006, the new art museum complex opened to the public.
