Three museums designed by architect David Adjaye are set to open this fall, but his attendance remains uncertain amid allegations of misconduct from 2023. Princeton University will not invite him to its Oct. 31 opening, while West African officials are unsure about his presence at their Nov. 11 event. The Studio Museum in Harlem declined to confirm any invitation for its Nov. 15 reopening.

The Studio Museum stated that Adjaye stopped working on the project in July 2023, and other architects from his firm completed the $300 million building. The British Ghanaian architect, who has previously earned praise for his designs, is now being distanced by institutions from his personal involvement, while they continue to work with his firm. Adjaye Associates experienced a 16 percent revenue decline in 2023; however, multiple international projects remain active.

The Thabo Mbeki Presidential Center in Johannesburg continues its partnership with Adjaye but requires female architects to lead portions of the work. Several commissions severed ties with him after the allegations emerged, but his firm continues to maintain projects in Ghana, Barbados, and India.
