After the 1989 Loma
Prieta earthquake, when much of the surrounding area of downtown
Santa Cruz was destroyed, William Turnbull Associates was retained
by the Task Force of the McPherson Center for Art and History
to design a new 22,000 square foot museum adjacent to the jail
and renovate the 28,000 square foot former jail into a retail
and office complex, thereby providing an income stream for the
Museum. Design solution consisted of adding a new fourth story
to remodeled jail and connecting the two structures with three
story high atrium glazed on opposing sides and connecting to outdoor
spaces to serve as a sculpture gardens and outdoor eating opportunities.
Tomas Frank was in charge of this project and played significant
role in its design, management and execution. |
