The
museum director was pleased that our master plan process developed enthusiastic
support from the museum curators, many of whom were initially negative about
working on their collections at a remote facility. |

PROJECT DETAILS The Oakland
Museum of California (www.MuseumCA.org)
owns 1.2 million objects valued at more than $80 million. The collections,
which focus on the art, history, and environment of California, include photographs,
costumes, historical equipment (some of it quite large), an important collection
of California Indian objects, natural history specimens, paintings and sculptures. The resulting 50,000 square foot building will have collection storage on two levels. Projected construction cost is $8 million. The building will have 21 foot high ceilings on the first floor to allow for future mezzanines (if local zoning permits) and storage of large objects. The cost also includes the structural capacity to install heavy space-saver shelving anywhere in the building. |
