According to a report from North Carolina’s Triangle Business Journal, former Tampa Museum of Art director Emily Kass has been hired as the new director of the Ackland Art Museum at UNC Chapel Hill. She’ll be facing a challenge that should prove familiar: UNC, according to the Business Journal, is planning to expand the Ackland museum to more than double its size.

No word on whether Kass will be seeking counsel on museum expansion from Rafael Vinoly, Pam Iorio or Steve Otto.
