Valeria Silva — Sun, 24 Nov 2024 06:00:00 +0000

The NHM Commons project is the Museum's new wing and a community hub, comprising approximately 75,000 square feet of new construction, renovated space, and landscaping on the west end of the Museum that faces Exposition Park and the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. NHM Commons will serve as both a destination and a gateway to the Museum and builds on NHM's unique outside-inside experience. It expands the existing main south entrance and is designed to offer an inviting, transparent "front porch" to the NHM campus, create a free welcome center, provide a new flexible theater and multipurpose space, increase exhibition spaces, and expand NHM's broad-based community programming. The Welcome Center provides orientation, ticketing, close-up views of a new sauropod dinosaur skeleton named Gnatalie, a mural by Barbara Carrasco, and views into the Park. In addition to linking the entrance plaza, new café, welcome center, and theater with the existing museum, NHM Commons enhances connections with institutions across Exposition Park.

As the first new building to be constructed at the school’s main campus in nearly 20 years, the Science Education & Research Facility is 25,000 sf and serves the school’s Upper and Middle School students as their primary science facility. Its location and relationship to the urban campus and freeway create opportunities as both a promotional beacon and destination.
