The Studio Museum in Harlem on Tuesday announced that it will open its new home on 125th Street in the fall of 2025. Its first show there will bring the museum full circle by focusing on the work of Tom Lloyd, the artist, educator and activist who was featured in the 1968 opening exhibition of the institution — which was then just a second-floor rented loft on upper Fifth Avenue.

“This building represents the collective aspirations of all who have been involved in thinking about what it would mean to make a museum on 125th Street devoted to the work of Black artists,” said Thelma Golden, the museum’s director, in a recent walk through the new structure. “This space allows us to fully execute on all of the work that we have been known to do, but gives us so much more capacity and so much more possibility.”

Featuring stacked volumes of differing sizes over five stories, the new building provides 82,000 square feet, increasing the exhibition space by more than 50 percent and the public areas by about 60 percent.

Adjaye Associates is the building’s design architect and Cooper Robertson is executive architect. (The museum largely parted ways with David Adjaye, the firm’s founder, in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct. Adjaye has denied the accusations.)

Golden declined to discuss Adjaye, but said, “We are thrilled with and proud of this design and look forward to working in it.”
