Holocaust Museum LA's proposed $45-million expansion has taken a small, but important procedural step forward. Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks issued a notice of exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act for the proposed Jona Goldrich Campus, which would expand upon the museum's existing subterranean building in Pan Pacific Park. — Urbanize Los Angeles
The proposed Belzberg Architects-designed project includes the expansion of the existing museum and the construction of a new pavilion. The pavilion will include a new learning center, a dedicated theater to showcase an installation by the USC Shoah Foundation, a 200-seat theater, two classrooms, a 2,500-square-foot exhibit space, and a pavilion housing a boxcar from the Majdanek concentration camp in Poland. Concession areas, administrative offices, and restrooms are also included.
According to Urbanize Los Angeles, the expansion is expected to increase the museum’s annual capacity to 500,000 by 2030. It is reported that around $22 million has so far been raised to begin construction. A groundbreaking is set to commence later this year.
