This addition, which was on the north side of the original building, was designed by the Cleveland architectural firm of Hayes and Ruth. They designed new gallery space and a new art library.

Designed by Rafael ViC1oly, this $350 million project doubled the museum's size to 592,000 square feet (55,000 m2).

ViC1oly covered the space created by the demolition of the 1958 and 1983 structures with a glass-roofed atrium. The east wing opened in 2009, and the north wing and atrium in 2012.
