On 9 February 2019, the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach reopened after the first phase of a major Foster + Partners expansion and campus plan. The transformed museum added the Kenneth C. Griffin Building, 12,000 square feet of gallery space, expanded classrooms, a larger student exhibition area, a 210-seat auditorium, a new store and restaurant, a Great Hall, a sculpture garden, and renovated cottages for an artist-in-residence program. The project reoriented the institution toward public access and education while giving South Florida's first major art museum a more ambitious contemporary architectural profile.
The reopening repositioned the Norton as a larger civic and educational art center for South Florida.
