In 2014, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego chose architect Annabelle Selldorf to head a $30 million expansion that is expected to triple the size of the museum's location in La Jolla. The project will create more gallery space to exhibit the museum's permanent collection, as well as additional space for education. The museum’s footprint will be expanded to include properties (now residential but owned by the museum) on both sides of the institution, and the space that now houses Sherwood Auditorium will be reconfigured as a gallery with potential exhibit space of approximately 8,000 square feet.
