The $158 million Edith and Peter O’Donnell Jr. Athenaeum at UT Dallas in Richardson has begun to take living shape with today's opening of the Crow Museum of Asian Art's second location and Tuesday's groundbreaking for a new 680-seat performance hall and music building. The project's goal: transforming UT Dallas into a cultural destination for North Texas.
The Edith and Peter O’Donnell Jr. Athenaeum will feature three new buildings: a second location for the Crow Museum of Asian Art; a performance hall; and a second museum focused on traditional arts of the Americas. The project's designer, global architectural firm Morphosis, designed the Perot Museum in downtown Dallas.
