The McEvoy Auditorium originally opened in July 2006 as part of the massive renovation project. Led by Hartman Cox Architects of Washington, D.C., the renovation added architectural features like curving staircases and vaulted galleries, as well as four new public-use facilities: the McEvoy Auditorium, the Lunder Conservation Center, the Luce Foundation Center for American Art, and the Kogod Courtyard.
