Today, the Nelson-Atkins announced June 9, 2007 as the opening date of the new Bloch Building. The announcement was made jointly by Museum Director/CEO Marc Wilson and Henry Bloch, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and co-founder of H & R Block.
Construction on the northern three lenses of the Bloch Building is complete! The commissioning process will take approximately a year as well as time for art and staff to move in. The remaining construction will continue through the summer so be sure to visit often to keep up with all the exciting changes.
Rockhill Road on the east side of the Nelson-Atkins reopened today after being reduced from four lanes to two lanes for the last four years due to construction of the new Bloch Building.
The sidewalk along the road also reopened, allowing a closer look at the building.
