Rothko Pavilion

The Rothko Pavilion is a glass pavilion planned for construction in Portland, Oregon, connecting the Portland Art Museum's main building to the neighboring Mark Building. The $50 million project,[1] announced in 2016 and named after Mark Rothko,[2][3] required a redesign to incorporate a breezeway for accessibility purposes.[4][5][6][7] By May 2017, the museum had raised approximately $27 million for the project, which will be the organization's largest expansion since 2005.[8]

In May 2019, the project was approved by the city's Historic Landmarks Commission.[9]

In January 2020, the museum received a donation of $10 million from philanthropist Arlene Schnitzer, to be used for the pavillion.[10] The museum said that it hoped to begin construction in fall 2021, though it still had more funds to raise.[11]
