The proposed project entails the expansion and relocation of the existing Los Angeles Children's Museum. Project implementation would involve the construction and operation of a new Children's Museum. Components of the project would include an approximately 58,000-square-foot structure consisting of two floors: outdoor ancillary facilities, landscape areas and access drives, including bus pick-up and drop-off areas. The building footprint would be approximately 37,000 square feet, and the total museum space would be approximately 58,000 square feet. Of this total space, approximately 60 percent would be devoted to exhibit and front-of-house space. Approximately 30 percent of the building would be devoted to administrative uses. The remaining 10 percent would be devoted to storage.
