AUSTIN-A late spring ground-breaking is penciled in for the Austin Museum of Art, while fundraisers continue to focus on their $64-million goal, a museum source told GlobeSt.com.

So far, $35 million has been raised to fund the project, which will span a city block in Downtown Austin and showcase the design of Richard Gluckman, a well-known architect in museum circles. Gluckman designed the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Whitney Museum of American Art addition and renovation in New York, and the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin. The museum is expected to be completed by late 2003.

Gluckman Mayner Architects of New York has designed the 145,000-sf building at Fourth and Guadalupe streets to include 25,000 sf in 12 galleries on the first two-stories of the three-story structure. The museum also will feature an education complex, film theatre and café. A roof terrace with views of Republic Square, Downtown and the Capitol, will run the length of the third-floor administrative offices.
