Water + Life Museums, World's First LEED Platinum Museum
In the process of digging the huge Diamond Valley Lake Reservoir in Southern California, some significant fossils were discovered. The fossils have been sitting around for several years waiting for a super-modern museum to call home, so The Center for Water Education Foundation and the Western Center Community Foundation commissioned Lehrer Architects to design such a place. The result is the Water + Life Museums, a complex that just so happens to claim a right to being the world’s first LEED Platinum certified museum.
