THE birthplace of Yahoo and Google, Stanford University is now ramping up and showing off its cultural resources.
Construction of a US$235 million arts district near Palm Drive, the grand tree-lined campus entrance, is well underway here. Last year, the US$112 million Bing Concert Hall opened. This year came the US$$36 million Anderson Collection, a new American-art museum designed to showcase paintings by Pollock, Rothko and Diebenkorn. Next up is the US$87 million McMurtry Building for the art and art history department, to open in 2015. The first two buildings were designed by Ennead Architects; the McMurtry is by Diller Scofidio & Renfro.
