The Museum of
Television & Radio
Beverly Hills, California
40,000 square feet
3 story museum
2 story gallery
The Museum of Television and Radio involved the conversion of a one story bank building into a 40,000 square foot, three story museum with an attached two story gallery constructed on an existing level of subterranean parking. The project presented our firm with a number of special architectural design features which challenged the design of the structural framing. Included in these were a pedestrian walkway that cantilevered from the two story exterior curtain wall at the museum lobby; a three story high lobby framed with ornamental steel and glass; curved ornamental steel stairs at the main museum lobby; strengthening of the existing concrete floor at the ground level to accommodate the museum loading requirements; an ornamental steel canopy along the exteriors and trellis on the roof and providing for a theater auditorium on the existing supported floor.
