My guess would be the delay is for additional fundraising.

That makes sense.

Here is additional information from a Kevin Canfield TulsaWorld article Feb 20, 2020 when it was announced Gilcrease would be downsized from the current 134,000sf to 89,000sf. Originally, the idea was to add 10,000sf to the existing building's renovation. "The city’s decision to build a new, smaller Gilcrease Museum, rather than renovate and add to the existing structure, was based on two related facts: the building is in bad shape, and rebuilding it to today’s museum standards would cost much more than the city has to spend. How much more? About $17 million, according to an analysis of the structure done by SmithGroup, the lead architect on the project." "The new 89,000-square-foot museum won’t be able to accommodate Gilcrease’s “100% wish list,” Anderson acknowledged, but should set it up for the next 50 years by providing flexible spaces and room for growth." https://tulsaworld.com/entertainment/renovating-expanding-gilcrease-museum-would-have-cost-17-million-more-than-city-had-budgeted-analysis/article_c26848df-ee5e-5cfd-a47b-ae46690c5a5a.html

Crystal Bridges did the same thing and just announced their expansion. I hope the new museum highlights the views to the west, it’s really a beautiful area with the forest and hills.

Cool. The design process must be going faster than they ha originally anticipated.

This was when they originally were going to renovate - I'm sure it has changed quite a bit but I liked this design. This is SmithGroup's portfolio - they do some amazing projects: https://www.smithgroup.com/our-work/projects#allI hope they take full advantage of the scenic Osage Hills backdrop

That's a great design - I hope they're able to keep most of it. The nods to Pelli and Wright really shine.

Terribly sad design. Uninspired. Drab and boring. It's an insult to the people, the children, the guests who will visit. My heart literally hurts when I look at it.

Well I'd just like to see whatever design they go with integrate with the landscape regardless if children are insulted by it.
