The Museum’s buildings will be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) “silver” certified; restored and constructed utilizing best environmental practices and materials. Additions to the existing building and new construction are sympathetic to the original design which is a blending of “Depression Moderne” and Mediterranean Revival architectural styles.
