The wing includes 15,000 square feet of archival storage, a staging area for exhibits and curatorial work, a new temporary exhibit gallery and classroom.
It comes after the National Archives in 2001 conducted a program review of the Kennedy Presidential Library and concluded that it had storage problems.
The ceremony also was witnessed by fourth and fifth grade students from the Winship School, a Boston public school in Brighton.
