By 2006, the Institute of Contemporary Art will have a permanent home along the Boston waterfront. The four-story building will feature a 300-seat theater, and 18,000 sq. ft. of gallery space that cantilevers out towards the waterfront. "The building will allow the museum for the first time to create a permanent collection, something it had been prevented from doing because of lack of space."
