Museum start likely soon
Construction of a new art museum at the University of Kansas could begin within a few weeks, Todd Seynour, executive director, Endowment Association, said Monday.
Seymour said construction could begin shortly if the Kansas Legislature voted favorably on a $288,000 appropriation to extend utility lines to the proposed site just west of the Kansas Union across Mississippi.
The $4.6 million museum will be financed primarily by a grant from the Kenneth A. and Helen F. Spencer Foundation, Kansas City. Mo. A $200,000 grant from the Kress Foundation of New York will also help finance construction of the museum.
The gift from the Kress Foundation was made possible by Dr. Franklin Murphy and the University Wesco, former chancellors of the University, to the board of directors of the Foundation.
Seymour said that it had always been a dream of Murphy and Wescoe that the University have a new art museum. When you learned the possibility of Mrs. Seymour convinced the New York foundation to make the substantial commitment, he said.
The gift from the Spencer Foundation, headed by Helen Forsman Spencer, is the largest single gift ever made to the Museum for development. Association will supervise construction of the building, to be named the Helen Forsman Spencer Museum of Art.
Mrs. Spencer has given numerous other gifts to the University and other area institutions, including Baker University in Baldwin, Lake's College in Kansas City, Mo., the Midwest Research Institute, the University of Missouri at Kansas City, the Nelson Art Gallery and St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Kansas City, Mo.
Her gifts to the University have included the Kenneth Spencer Research Library; a non-sectarian memorial chapel at the KU Medical Center; a former house of the Spencers in Kansas City used as a home for the Spencers, the Med Center; and a major contribution to the Center of Research in Engineering Science in the West Campus area.
The building will have walls of Indiana limestone similar to the exterior of the
Spencer Library. It will have five floors and its main entrance will be on Mississippi
The top floor of the building will have administrative offices and storage rooms. The third and fourth floors will house the galleries of the museum, and the two lower floors will be finished later for classrooms, offices and an art library.
Mrs. Spencer and her husband were 1968 recipients of the University of Kansas Distinguished Service Citation, the highest honor the University gives to its alumni. She and her late husband are 1926 graduates of the University. They are the only husband who founded the internationally famous Spencer Chemical Co. in 1941 and served on the board of directors of a number of international firms during his lifetime.
