Planned construction of new research facility to house the collection and support public performances and outreach activities. (Projected completion in mid 2022.) Architects have designed a 13,250 square-foot facility to be sited on KU Foundation-owned property adjacent to Schaeffer Auditorium (music building).

2,100 square-foot performance space will allow display of the entire collection of vintage instruments.

Eight separate rooms will house the five major collections acquired to date, with three of those rooms earmarked as “TBD” for future display of new collections.

Projected cost for the new facility is $6.4 million.
