Planning of a new facilities project to move the MLK Institute and papers to a location in the main Quad was just underway ~ a year ago. Not sure exactly where to but I believe it'll be the W-NW end of the Quad (toward Lomita Mall). This was tied to the recruitment and hire of a new director for the Institute, Dr. Lerone Martin, from WashU in St. Louis.
Wondering if the CHS papers would possibly be moved into the Cummings Art Building, since the bulk of Art & Art History's admin and teaching staff moved over to McMurtry (next to the Rodin Sculpture Garden) a couple of years ago. This would make sense due to proximity of Cummings to Green Library and the History Department/Bill Lane Center - I'm just not sure if there's sufficient studio space in McMurtry to accommodate transition of studio art activity from Cummings.
