Client: Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert

Now Open!

Transform a museum that we originally designed 20 years ago into a forward-looking space of community interaction

Re-envision a multifaceted facility that is ready to nurture the increasingly diverse families of the Coachella Valley for decades to come. The new CDMoD welcomes people to explore and develop their powers of creativity to build capable children, stronger families, and a more connected community. From a welcoming fantasy garden environment with rich role-playing opportunities to areas focused on expression, experimentation, and movement, CDMoD invites children to build skills and self-confidence through the power of creative play.

Scope:

Exhibition master planning and design, construction documents, construction administration, museum board visioning workshops, fundraising materials development, capital campaign budgeting, conceptual master planning
