The new Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust enhances a formerly under-utilized section of Pan Pacific Park. It was designed to merge seamlessly into the natural curvature of the Park. The Museum adds a new cultural and educational component to the Park by enriching this environment with deep themes of historical education and cultural studies, juxtaposed alongside the entertainment giant of The Grove. The architects and developers made every effort to limit the museum’s carbon footprint on the environment. As a result, the building has received LEED Gold certification. This was achieved partially through the implementation of an economical design plan which maximizes every square footage of space. The Museum also uses new interactive technology to help teach the history of the Holocaust era, thus making it possible to contain an endless amount of virtual information in a necessarily limited physical structure.
