El 1 de junio de 2007, el estado de Míchigan recibió una donación de $28 millones del empresario Eli Broad y su esposa, Edythe, para la construcción de un nuevo museo de arte, para reemplazar el antiguo Museo de Arte Kresge en el edificio de arte de la escuela. En su reunión del 15 de junio, la Junta Directiva de MSU aprobó la construcción del museo con planes iniciales para demoler el edificio y luego en la ubicación propuesta, el Edificio Paolucci.[3] Michael Rush fue nombrado director fundador en diciembre de 2010. Michael Rush murió de cáncer de páncreas el 27 de marzo de 2015.[4] Marc-Olivier Wahler fue nombrado director el 9 de marzo de 2016.[5].
Design competition
Following museum approval, 10 semi-finalist companies were initially identified from a field of approximately 30 companies.[6] From the list of semi-finalists, five architecture firms were selected to submit proposals to the competition. The proposed building was to include a minimum of 26,000 square feet (2,415.5 m²) of gallery space and would house both permanent and temporary exhibitions. The new facilities would allow the MSU Art Museum to offer educational opportunities and programming, such as lectures by scholars, curators, artists and visiting professors; seminars, teacher training; and special activities for families and school groups.[3] The five finalists were:[7].
• - Zaha Hadid – London.[8].
• - Coop Himmelb(l)auau "Coop Himmelb(l)au") – Vienna/Los Angeles.[9].
• - Morphosis – Santa Monica.[10].
• - Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, PC – New York.[11].
• - Randall Stout Architects, Inc. – Los Angeles.[12].
The selection committee announced on January 15, 2008 that Zaha Hadid had been selected.
