The privately funded building, to be called The Ellipse, will replace the one-storey Gulbenkian Gallery. It will have public exhibition space, five floors providing studios for painting, drawing and new technology, a floor dedicated to research and extra space for two existing departments.
Building work is expected to begin in July 2002 and be complete by 2004.
