PHASING
The Future Plan could encompass more than eight key
steps for the development of the South Crescent and
Museum District. To progress the building project, three
distinct phases have been identified.
PHASED DEVELOPMENT AND LONG-TERM VISION:
• Develop a phased implementation strategy,
considering short-term and long-term goals for the
cultural campus.
• Maintain a long-term vision for future expansions
and enhancements, allowing the campus to evolve
and grow in response to changing cultural needs.
PHASE 1- concentrates on improvements to the existing
museum,archive, and courtyard. It also includes the
development of a new more welcoming promenade
and entry area as well as new development of the
paving area adjacent to the lumberyard as a new
landscape community. Oasis.
PHASE2- is dedicated to establishing a secure and
captivating contemporary archive wing.
PHASE3-upgrades to Casita and existing Lumberyard
buildings. For the Casita, this phase would incorporate
accessibility and minor interior improvements. For the
Lumberyard work will include renovation and fit out to
help the building host events in the Oasis.

Urban Design Principles for developing 'The Gem'
Recommendations for the city's future community events/fairs, creating a safe and
development and alaysis for the surrounding inviting environment for social interactions and
public areas around the Museum may include: cultural activities.
EMBRACE THE JUXTAPOSITION OF CULTURE
AND NATURE:
Capitalize on the contrast between the
surrounding natural landscape and cultural
elements within the valley to create a unique
sense of place.
Design architectural elements and landscapes
that celebrate this contrast, integrating
nature -inspired motifs and materials into the
built environment.
MEDIUM -SCALE SPACES:
Design the campus to have a medium -scale
character, striking a balance between the
expansive nature-scape and the highly
privatized residential landscape.
• Ensure that the spaces are intimate enough to
foster a sense of community and engagement
while still providing ample room for various
cultural activities.
RESTORATIVE AND REGENERATIVE MEASURES:
• Introduce restorative and regenerative
principles as guiding principles for the project's
future development, considering sustainable
building practices, renewable energy sources,
and ecological restoration.
• Incorporate green infrastructure, such as
rain gardens and bioswales, to manage
stormwater and promote biodiversity.
PEDESTRIAN, CYCLIST, AND COMMUNITY FOCUS:
• Dedicate the inner spaces of the campus
primarily to pedestrians, cyclists, and
• Design pathways, plazas, and gathering
spaces that encourage pedestrian and
cyclist movement while fostering a sense
of community.
CENTRALIZED PUBLIC SPACES:
• Place service and back -of -house functions
around the perimeter of the campus,
allowing the interior to be devoted to open
public spaces.
• Designate central public areas for cultural
events, exhibitions, and performances,
providing opportunities for community
engagement and artistic expression.
PROMENADE AND ARTS NODES:
Establish a promenade that runs through
setbacks and follows sidewalk guidelines,
connecting the interior street fronts and
creating a cohesive pedestrian experience.
• Integrate distributed Arts Nodes throughout
the campus, serving as focal points for
cultural activities, installations, and interactive
art displays.
SOFTEN EDGES AND CREATE A PARK TAPESTRY:
Dissolve hard edges within the campus by
using soft landscaping techniques, such
as curvilinear pathways, gentle transitions
between spaces, and organic shapes.
• Design a tapestry of interconnected park
spaces, with areas for quiet contemplation,
outdoor seating, and focused activities,
allowing visitors to engage with nature while
experiencing cultural offerings.

The Cultural Campus is a dedicated space for
residents and visitors to immerse themselves in
cultural and artistic experiences. It showcases
rotating and permanent art installations, new
media, live performances, and educational
workshops. The open space concept embraces
low -impact, drought -tolerant practices,
intertwining with narratives of the Cahuilla tribes
to create a captivating, multi -sensory experience
for generations to come.

Casita
Description: The Casita, built in 1935, has a total
area of 964 gross square feet (GSF).
Challenges: The Casita presents challenges related
to ADA compliance, structural integrity, and
size limitations.
Use Considerations: Considering the accessibility
and cost concerns, it is advisable to utilize
the Casita for light signage and landscaping
purposes. Additionally, it can continue to serve
as a space for the La Quinta Historical Society,
without significant renovation work.
Recommendation: The Casita can be utilized for
light storage by the La Quinta Historical Society
or the museum. It is recommended to upgrade
landscape lighting while incorporating signage
and wayfinding enhancements. Furthermore,
the Casita could be considered for non-public
event support, providing additional flexibility in
its usage.

Lumberyard
Description: Built in 1935, the Lumberyard
encompasses 3,360 gross square feet GSF (total
including both floors).
Challenges: The Lumberyard presents challenges
related to ADA compliance, structural integrity,
overhang issues, and size limitations.
Use Considerations: Considering the structural,
cost, and accessibility concerns, it is recommended
to utilize only the first floor of the Lumberyard. This
space can be used for activities such as education
programming or event support.
Recommendation: Implement light tenant
improvements (TI) on the ground floor, specifically
for event support in the oasis or small community
engagement activities. Additionally, explore
the possibility of utilizing sidewalk windows
for exhibitions and displays. It is advised to
demolish the back shed structure and refrain
from using the second floor due to structural and
accessibility limitations*
*NOTE: Full demolition of entire building may also
be considered to allow greater use of site and/
or additional support spaces for future cultural
events or museum use

Arrival Experience Arts Promenade
Imagining a Narrative &
Interactive Landscape
The intention to incorporate heritage, narrative,
and experiential elements from the Valley's
Cahuilla past finds presence in the concept for the
landscape. The idea begins with the linear Arts
Promenade, and has the ability to populate other
areas of the campus plan as the idea refines.
Through the utilization of the array of street front
elements: planting, pathways, areas for seating,
shade trees, low plantings, could we envision the
garden designed through a narrative framework
of an ancient Cahuilla Story? How does it begin,
how does it end, how do you engage and when is
it legible? The story itself, like in typical interpretive,
or ethnobotanical setting (Malki Museum, La
Brea Tar Pits) can be engaged on a number of
levels. Simply as an pleasant, passive landscape
at arrival or a rich discovery animated through
signage, or a scavenger hunt like codex.

Operations Courtyard Entry, Reception, and Shop Improvements
Currently the gift shop sits at the north end of the
existing building. Feedback from the users is that it
could be condensed and would be more efficient
to have overlap for the staffing of the shop with
the welcome desk. Therefore the design team
came up with the solution of moving the gift shop
from its current location to the elevator lobby.
It would be made into a gift kiosk with custom
casework furniture to showcase the souvenirs and
other items currently showcased at the gift shop. It
would also act as a welcome desk for visitors.
Additionally the main wall which faces the entry
point in the existing courtyard would act as a
key point of identity for the space. This could be
done through commissioning a mural or custom
signage which would inhabit the main wall. This
would serve as a unique backdrop for events and
create a more welcoming arrival for the space.

to become offices for the artifact researchers. This
would include an interior retrofit of the space,
replacing finishes and lighting to accommodate
4 research teams and a small phone booth.
Additionally the benefit of the location of this
space is the adjacency to the traveling gallery
access to the south of the room. This allows for
researchers to have quick and easy access to the

makes much of it hard to use. The plan is to demo
out some of those partitions and create one large
space which would be more open and efficient
for loading and storing materials. This back of
house space would also include a small office for
the Historical Society to use as a workspace. The
location of this office has the benefit of having
close adjacency and access to the artifacts. There

Expansion Existing Lumberyard
The existing Lumberyard building to the northeast
of the existing museum is currently unoccupied. As
it was originally built in 1935 it is one of the older
buildings on site. This means it is part of the history
of the site but also means that significant rework
may be needed to rehabilitate the building.
Due to its proximity to the future Oasis, the design
team saw the Lumberyard building as a potential
opportunity to house event serving spaces.

La Quinta Cultural Campus - Section 3 - Cultural Campus 1 44
Expansion New Archive Design
A major design driver for the archive was the concept
of research on display. This was manifested through
celebrating the active artifact research and study on
site through creating visual connection and adjacency
between the New Archive building and the Oasis. Through
the building and the public space being in close proximity
and visually connected the storage could act as part
storage and part active research and an extension of the
museum's display. Part of this concept could extend into
public workshops or community outreach events where
researchers could walk the public through what they are
working with. This could lead to future donor events or
other collaborations.
It is important to note although the research and public
Oasis programs would be in close proximity and visually
connected they would be separated through card access,
doors and an environmental vestibule which would ensure
that outside air and dirt and debris would not be tracked
into the space.

Expansion Archive Design
As a starting point for the design of the new
archive the design team took the given list of
objects and artifacts and created a set a rules
and assumptions to estimate the approximate
volume/storage needs for each item.
EXCERPT BELOW FROM OWNER'S REQUIREMENTS
Currently there are just
over 3,000 items in the
museum's collection:
PHOTOGRAPHS: Approximately 750 photos of various sizes
(18.5" x 16", 30" x 30", 13" x 10", 4.25" x 3.25", etc.).
LIBRARY: Approximately 700 items including hardcover books,
soft cover books, file folders including newspaper clippings/
handwritten notes, and publications.
OBJECTS: Approximately 800 items ranging in shape and size.
Items include dinner plates, silverware, jewelry, clothing, golf
balls, posters, shells, oil paintings, taxidermy animals, rabbit
pelts, B.B. guns, wrought iron gates, ball caps, tennis rackets,
wine glasses, baskets, roof tiles, matchbooks, cowboy boots,
branding irons, typewriters, beans, and arrowheads. Special
consideration should be given to the oldest and most fragile
objects which are generally the items associated with the
Cahuilla Tribe such as baskets, bead necklaces, digging tools,
and pottery.
ARTIFACTS: Approximately 675 items including letters, business
cards, maps, contracts, building permits, newspapers,
handwritten notes, certificates, menus, and invitations.
CRITERIA The archival space must adequately house these
items and meet any and all museum requirements regarding
temperature and/or humidity control. We anticipate the
La Quinta museum will follow the industry standard of
accessioning and deaccessioning items, therefore the archival
space must accommodate the growth rate percentage that is
typical of small local community museums.
As far as linear footage is concerned, we are interested in
exploring a 750 sq ft archive space and a 1500 sq ft archive
space. Are you able to provide a preliminary mock-up of what
a 750 sq ft can look like and what a 1500 sq ft can potentially
look like so we can compare the two?

Guidelines Landscape Materials and Character
The landscape design will be naturalistic and
be comprised of mostly native, desert chaparral
vegetation. All vegetation will be drought tolerant
and well suited for the hot arid environment
of La Quinta. Many of the plants used will be
selected based on their integration with the
Cahuilla traditions and history. The idea is for
the landscape to provide both an aesthetically
pleasing environment as well as a educational
and learning opportunities for the public. The
hardscape for the promenade and Oasis will
consist of decomposed granite and concrete
pathways. The main idea for the shape of the
hardscape and planting is to allow for flexibility
and a variety of uses.

1. CREATE A NEW WELCOMING ARRIVAL
• Site/Promenade - To the north of the site adjacent to Avenida Montezuma there is currently a series of
parking spaces and a narrow sidewalk. Our proposal will decommission the parking spaces directly
north of the existing building area and replace it with a wide pedestrian promenade which will include
planting and various hardscape types and some outdoor furniture. There will be a couple accessible
parking spaces in front of the new Oasis area r - number of spaces to be confirmed during Preliminary
Design.
• Kinetic pergola at entrance - The current entrance to project site includes a walled off courtyard. Our
proposal seeks to create a more welcoming space through the demolition of the north section of the
existing courtyard and replacing it with an operable custom patterned perforated copper pergola
which can mechanically close with safety and ease of operation to provide a fence when the building
is not open to the public. The copper would naturally weather from shiny to darkened in the desert
environment. Corten steel can be used as an alternative material - dependent on weight and pricing.
Specific structure and dimensions to be determined at later design stage. This pergola would also oc-
cur at the northern entrance to the new oasis.
• Designing a help desk/kiosk - A welcome kiosk/mobile bar will be designed and created to have a flex-
ible location to be used in the existing building courtyard. It will be built of custom casework and the
materials will be able to endure the harsh outdoor desert environment.
• Accessibility compliance for existing buildings - Behind mechanical enclosures a pony wall will be
demolished to make room for a low slope ramp for an accessible connection. This is located at Casita
building in the north-west corner of the existing site. Ramp to be 1:20 slope and not require handrails.
• Add Alt Art for Arrival enhancement - A provision for a mural at the portion of the existing building
which faces Avenida Montezuma to encourage a more welcoming arrival/placemaking. A provision for
art/sculptures throughout the promenade and oasis
2. IMPROVEMENTS TO OPERATIONS AND EXISTING BUIDING
• New lobby/ gift shop - In corner of existing building across from the diagonal elevator a small kiosk
desk type shop will be created to sell small souvenirs. This new gift shop will likely require custom case-
work and a new desk.
Moving shop from NE corner of existing building to a small shop desk adjacent to elevator - The pre-
vious 360 SF shop location at the north of the existing building will be decommissioned and replaced
with offices. The shop will be moved to the entry area and consist of custom casework such as a large
desk/booth to sell small souvenirs.
• New offices - The new offices will include desks and shelves along the walls as well as a small phone
room. There will be a door connecting the office space and the traveling gallery.
Southern Loading dock upgrades and new office - At the loading dock an office will be created to
house personnel adjacent to the existing mechanical closets. A new automated garage style door with
some glazing lites will replace existing one on south wall. Waterproofing of the wall openings at the
loading dock as well as adjustments to the slope of the floor will be remediated to ensure no water
intrusion/pooling inside the building.
3. EXPANSION - PHASE 1
Lumberyard - The existing lumberyard on the east end of the site will undergo rehabilitation including
a change in programmatic use. The existing second floor will remain as is and will not be used. The
bottom floor walls will remain as is with the exception of the addition of two singular uni-sex accessible
restrooms on the south end of the building. The other rooms in this building will include a serving bar,
basic catering kitchen and wedding prep suite. Repainted and touching up of finishes will be included.
Oasis - Between the existing building, old lumberyard and new archive there will be a new "Oasis"
courtyard. This space will serve as a community hub for the city and will encompass a variety of activi-
ties from hosting weddings, to movie night with projectors and other various community events. AV and
IT will be coordinated with to ensure that adequate technology has been included for the various event

Site Conditions
The La Quinta Museum/Cultural Campus site is at 77885 Avenida Montezuma on four parcels that comprise
0.51 acres. This site is substantially covered with several building roofs and paved areas. There is a vacant
0.74 acres parcel that abuts the northeast edge of the site.
A current boundary, topographic and utility survey of the project area prepared by a licensed professional
land surveyor is needed to proceed with schematic design of site improvements.
A geotechnical evaluation and report that characterizes site soil and geologic conditions including rec-
ommendations for support of new structures, paving and buried utilities must be completed by licensed
geotechnical engineer.
Utilities
Domestic water service and sanitary sewer collection and treatment is provided by the Coachella Valley
Water District (CVWD). Existing watermains and sanitary sewers are in the streets on the west and north
sides of the Museum.
Electrical power service is provided by Imperial Irrigation District (IID).
There is an irrigation system for patio and adjacent boulevard areas.
Storm Water Management
La Quinta is in the Whitewater River Region of the Colorado River Basin. Stormwater discharges are reg-
ulated under an MS4 permit that is administered by the California State Water Resources Control Board
as part of the federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). A project specific Water
Quality Management Plan (WQMP) is not required for redevelopment projects that disturb less than one
acre of land.
Although not specifically required by permit, site plans should include stormwater best management prac-
tices that encourage on-site retention and infiltration of stormwater. Stormwater best management prac-
tices are strongly encouraged with site redevelopments and examples include, but are not limited to:
• Infiltration beds, swales, and basins, that allow water to collect and soak into the ground.
• Retention ponds that retain water, handle excess flow, and filter pollutants
• Pervious or porous surfaces (e.g., permeable pavers or blocks, pervious or porous concrete, etc.) that
minimize storm runoff.
• Rainwater harvesting or catchment technologies (e.g., rain gardens and cisterns).
Site Reviews and Permits include, but may not be limited to:
• The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians Tribal Historic Preservation Office should be contacted
prior to any ground disturbing activities.
• City of La Quinta Grading Permit
• New utility service connections
• Accessibility (accessible routes, drop-off zones, parking stalls & access aisles)
Anticipated sitework includes:
• Erosion and sediment control
• Site demolition
• New paving for building access, outdoor spaces, and sidewalks
• Grading and drainage provisions
• New building utility service connections, if needed

SITE WORK
12.1 Site Description
The site is located at 78-495 Calle Tampico, La Quinta, CA 92253. It is bounded by Avenida Mendoza to the
west, Avenida Montezuma to the north, Avenida Navarro to the east and an alley to the south.
A. The existing site is occupied by the several buildings, including the main La Quinta Museum, the casi-
ta and lumberyard.
B. Proposed Site Conditions:
1. This project will provide for the construction of building improvements, a new streetscape and
two courtyards.
A. Site Survey Information:
1. A boundary, utility and topographic survey will be required prior to commencement of site design
work.
B. Geotechnical Information:
1. A geotechnical exploration and report must be completed by a geotechnical engineer to evalu-
ate the soil conditions and provide recommendations related to the building foundation systems,
site pavement, dewatering during construction and subsoil drainage.
C. Environmental Conditions:
1. There are no known environmental conditions at the site.
2. Contact state archeologist as required if historic artifacts are discovered during excavation.
12.2 Demolition, Site Clearing, and Tree Protection
A. Remove site vegetation not indicated for protection within construction limits.
B. Protect trees, plant growth, and features designated to remain as final landscaping and as required
by local regulatory agencies. Tree protection fencing should be located at canopy drip line.
C. Legally dispose of debris off-site.
D. Remove and dispose of existing utility piping, paving, surfacing, and hardscape elements which occur
within areas of new construction in their entirety as designated on the plans, unless noted to salvage.
12.3 Earthwork
A. Erosion and Sediment Control
1. Best Management Practices must be used to prevent exposed soil from leaving the site and pro-
tect excavated areas from eroding. Earthwork operations must not begin until the Contractor has
installed temporary erosion control measures as necessary to protect adjacent streets, property,
and all storm sewer inlets from sediment transported by storm water runoff.
2. Prevent soil from leaving the site via storm runoff, vehicular tires, or other means. Use silt fencing
as needed and construct a stabilized vehicle exit drive to clean the tires of vehicles leaving the
site.
3. Restore eroded topsoil areas subsequent to final vegetative cover being established. Repair ruts
and re-establish vegetative cover, with no additional compensation provided. Limit repair work to
the smallest earthwork equipment practical.
4. Water from rock construction exit or other operations containing sediment must be treated by
filtration, a settling basin, or other means sufficient to reduce sediment content.
5. Pollutants such as fuels, lubricants, bitumens, raw wash water or waste from construction opera-
tions, and other harmful materials must be properly disposed of off-site in a permitted disposal
facility in accordance with governing regulations.
6. Silt fences must be installed perpendicular to site slopes before any disturbance begins.
7. Provide protection at all inlets receiving stormwater runoff from exposed earth areas.
8. Topsoil stockpiles must be isolated by placing a perimeter silt fence.
9. Maintenance: All temporary erosion and sediment control measures must be properly maintained
and inspected after each storm event. Immediately restore, clean out, repair, and replace the facil-
ities affected by the storm runoff.
10. All liquid and solid wastes generated by concrete washout operations must be contained in a
leak -proof containment facility or impermeable liner. A compacted clay liner that does not allow
washout liquids to enter ground water is considered an impermeable liner. The liquid and solid
wastes must not contact the ground, and there must not be runoff from the concrete washout
operations or areas. Liquid and solid wastes must be disposed of properly and in compliance
with applicable regulations. A sign must be installed adjacent to each washout facility to inform
concrete equipment operators to utilize the proper facilities.
B. Strip surface soils containing organic matter in areas indicated for disturbance.
C. Maintain adequate and positive drainage of entire site for duration of project. Do not allow ground-
water, surface water, or direct precipitation to accumulate on subgrades or in excavations.
D. Excavation Support: Place and maintain appropriate systems to support sides of excavation and to
prevent soil movement that may endanger adjacent persons, structures, pavements, or utilities.
E. Excavation:
1. Excavate to depth and limits required for construction of building, paving, utilities, and landscap-
ing.
2. Over -excavate subgrade of ground -supported foundations, ground -supported slabs, and paved
areas only as specifically required by the Geotechnical Report and Testing Agency (TA) observa-
tions.
3. Segregate approved select soil materials free of debris for backfill and fill construction in desig-
nated locations.
4. Dispose of excess and unsuitable material off-site in accordance with local codes and regulations.
C. Backfill:
1. Fill uniformly in 8 -inch horizontal layers, on compacted and TA -approved subgrade.
2. Compact fill materials to meet required minimum specified Proctor densities.

Basis of Design Electrical
1.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
Per Architectural Set with original date of 01 February 2006, Electrical Room 110 exists within the museum
and is the only electrical room in the building. This electrical room can be used to serve the renovations
made to the existing museum if there is spare capacity and/or available wall space if new electrical equip-
ment is necessary. Elevator Equipment Room 116 powers the elevator within the existing museum. Service
entrance transformer also shown on the western portion of the site.
Existing Panel in exterior mechanical yard adjacent to existing historic casita building confirmed. Spare
capacity could be used to power new renovations in the nearby areas. Existing Electrical equipment adja-
cent to lumberyard could be used to power renovations to nearby areas. Voltage and capacity still need to
be verified.
Existing bollards, landscape lighting, and other exterior lighting within space likely to be demolished as
per changes to the Promenades, Courtyard Reno, and Oasis Courtyard.
All existing conditions must be field verified.
2.0 NEW EQUIPMENT
The La Quinta - Cultural Campus renovations being made to the existing museum, new archive space,
lumberyard, and oasis courtyard sum up to a total area of about 27200 square feet (sf). Considering the
building occupancy type would be a museum, a unit load of 1.7 -volt -amps (VA)/sf would be appropriate to
properly estimate the new lighting load. Multiplying the unit load with the total square footage equates to
43.5 KVA of new lighting load. This could be powered via the existing neighboring lighting panels already
used within the space. If there is not enough capacity on the existing panel a new 100 -amp (A), 480Y/277 -
volt (V), 3-phase (ph), 4 -wire (W) panel would be used to provide power to the new lighting renovations.
For an estimated heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) load, air-cooling systems draw about
10.0 VA/sf for all spaces that require HVAC. This load totals to about 65.6 KVA. Field verification will be
needed to confirm if this could be powered via existing neighboring HVAC panels already being used
to power other mechanical equipment loads in the building. If there is not enough capacity a new 225A,
480Y/277V, 3ph, 4W panel would be suggested to power the new HVAC loads.
The receptacle load is estimated by multiplying a unit load of 1.0 VA/sf with the total applicable floor area.
This totals to about 20.2 KVA. Considering that certain areas could be used for event spaces, its safe to add
an additional 4.0 VA per square foot for spaces like the Oasis Courtyard, Bridal Suite/ Misc. Event Space,
and Beverage/ Snack Station. These special loads total to 28.9 KVA. Signage being added to the Prome-
nades, Courtyard Reno, Lobby, and New Parking area require power for nighttime illumination/ events.
Signage could be estimated to about 1200W per sign. Additionally, kinetic pergolas also add to the new
equipment load which could be estimated to be about 10 KVA per gate. There are a total of (8) kinetic per-
golas, four at each northern entrance of the courtyard. Lastly there are kitchen equipment loads in the new
catering kitchen within the lumberyard that will be estimated to total to 20 KVA. This load should be taken
at a demand factor of 655/o, or 13 KVA, due to the number of units of equipment. Summing the equipment
loads together equates to 100.2 KVA. These loads could be powered by the neighboring existing receptacle
panels already being used to power the space. If the existing panels don't have the capacity, a new 400A,
208Y/120V, 3ph, 4W panel would be suggested to power the new receptacle, special, and equipment loads.
The total demand load of the project when summing up the lighting, receptacle, HVAC, special loads, and
additional equipment loads equates to 258.3 KVA or 311 A at 480Y/277V. If the existing distribution does not
have the capacity for the total new demand load and its amperage ratings are compromised, our sugges-
tion would be to upgrade the existing service if possible. This is only necessary if the measured maximum
demand of the existing load taken at 125% plus the total calculated new load of 311 A is greater than the
rating of the service. If an upgrade of the service isn't possible a second service would be necessary.
All existing panels and distribution boards noted above to be used for powering equipment shall be
tested with a thirty (30) day ammeter test to confirm existing amperage within the panel. This amperage,
multiplied by 125%, will be added to the new proposed loads to confirm the panels' amperages are not
compromised.
3.0 GENERATOR
A new outdoor diesel generator will be needed to provide power to emergency loads and optional stand-
by loads. Sizing of generator, automatic transfer switches (ATS), and panels will be finalized once emer-
gency loads and optional standby loads are confirmed. Each system will have its own separate ATS. Egress
lighting and illuminated exit signs shall be on emergency along with any other loads essential for safety to
human life like fire alarm systems and ventilation systems. Optional standby loads are per owner require-
ments. A suitable outdoor location will need to be identified for the new generator to live.
4.0 PV -ADD ALTERNATE
Due to the additional square footage being added to the building solar -ready infrastructure will be re-
quired. A full PV system could be put in place if requested by the owner. This PV system would be located
on the roof over the new archive space.
La Quinta Cultural Campus - Section 5 - Basis of Design 1 69
Basis of Design Lighting
1.0 LIGHTING SCOPE
Lighting systems appropriate for the task and design of the space will be selected. Lighting levels will meet
or exceed IES recommended lighting levels. Lighting installations will be designed to meet Federal and
local energy code requirements and sustainability goals. Design will utilize energy efficient LED sources. The
lighting scope includes new LED lighting for site and building exterior lighting enhancement, and interior
lighting of the existing building and new archive spaces. All LED light sources will be 3000K color temperature
and 90CR1. All LED luminaires for public spaces and workspaces will be capable of dimming to 1%.
2.0 SITE AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The site and building exterior lighting enhancement will create a welcome arrival experience for visitors at
night. Accent lighting with well shielded, low glare luminaires will be provided to enhance architectural and
landscape features and create distinctive and intimate night-time experiences. Pedestrian -scale post -top
lighting, bollards, and step lighting will be utilized to meet illumination levels in pedestrian circulation areas.
Small profile LED luminaires will be integrated into landscape forms. Multiple layers of dimmable lighting will
be provided for the exterior Oasis space and Lumberyard dedicated event space to allow flexible lighting for
weddings, local events, and learning environments.
3.0 LOBBY AND PUBLIC CIRCULATIONS:
New LED lighting will create a welcome image, enhance the architectural expression, and be fully integrated
into architectural details. Accent lighting will be provided to highlight architectural features. Wall washers will
be provided to illuminate wall surfaces. Downlights will be provided for general illumination. Track lighting
will be utilized for flexibility to support exhibits and various events. The targeted light level is 15-30 foot-
candles at the floor.
4.0 MUSEUM EXHIBIT SPACES
New LED track lighting system will be provided for flexibility to support exhibits. Track fixtures with various
optic beams will be provided. The lighting system will be designed to integrate with the digital exhibits as
needed. The targeted light level is 15-30 foot-candles at the floor.
5.0 ARCHIVE SPACES.
All lighting in spaces having artifacts should have UV protection. New LED lighting with 90 CRI and will be
provided. Linear direct and indirect lighting will be provided for general illumination. Lighting system shall be
UV free for art preservation. The targeted light level is 20 foot-candles at the floor in circulation areas and 75
foot-candles at work plane for examination of objects.

Basis of Design IT and Low Voltage
1.0 AUDIOVISUAL SYSTEMS FOR EXTERIOR OASIS SPACE
The outdoor Oasis space is to be used for Movie Night, other presentations, and organized discussion
forums. It will be supplied with an exterior rated projector and an electric projection screen as well as
a background audio system. A second option for this space is to treat it as a rental area for audiovisual
services. This approach would require appropriate power and basic mounting infrastructure to support
equipment that would be purpose -rented for each event from a professional audiovisual service company.
2.0 AUDIOVISUAL SYSTEMS FOR INTERIOR SPACES
The following spaces will require some form of audiovisual support:
• Eight -person conference room -
two standard conference room tables and IT support to support business use such as
videoconferencing calls and professional meetings in the New Archive building. .
3.0 WIRED NETWORK ACCESS
• Interior - The Museum, the Oasis, and Lumberyard interior spaces will all use a wired Ethernet network
for computers and any other network devices that do not depend on wireless access.
• Exterior - Exterior spaces for this project are the entry Pergola welcome area and the Oasis space
located between the Museum and the lumberyard.
Our best "first pass" assessment for exterior cabling to support Wi-Fi, Video Surveillance, miscellaneous
direct connections for AV, and potentially other systems would be approximately 20 locations. These would
be supported via singlemode fiber optic cable. These locations would need to be on planned/existing light
poles or other mounting positions that would be approximately 15 ft above the ground. Pathways and
electrical service would be separate and are not included in the budget range shown below.
4.0 NETWORK ELECTRONICS
An Ethernet network will be required to support both Interior and Exterior wired devices; the Wi-Fi system
will also require wired cabling to provide signal to each Wi-Fi antenna. Interior Wi-Fi antennas will utilize
two Category 6A cables each and the outdoor Wi-Fi antennas will be supported via singlemode fiber
optic cables. The Ethernet network electronics will support both Category 6A and singlemode fiber. For
fiber connections, a low voltage power system will be incorporated into the solution and translational
electronics to support a transition from the fiber and low voltage power translation to Power over Ethernet
(PoE) will be required.
5.0 ELECTRONIC SECURITY SYSTEMS
Electronic Security Systems will be utilized to provide a safe and secure environment for employees and
guests. We recommend the following sub systems:
• Video surveillance - cameras covering key areas
• Electronic access control - use of key cards at select doors to limit/allow access
• Intrusion detection - at least for the museum to help guard key assets
• Visitor management - to help guide and manage visitors to the site
The design evolution will drive exact counts, types, and features of devices for these systems. For this
narrative, we are estimating the following:
• Video surveillance - 6 interior cameras; 10 exterior cameras
• Electronic access control - 10 to 15 controlled doors
• Intrusion detection - a simple system to identify glass breakage in exterior window
• Visitor management - a simple system to track and guide visitors to internal spaces
6.0 IDEA FOR CONSIDERATION - DIGITAL PRESERVATION OF PHYSICAL ARCHIVES.
One item that could benefit from a "digital" approach is to scan all print artifacts for preservation digitally,
from where they can be retrieved and utilized in new and compelling ways - both on site and remotely.
This activity would require the following basic steps/components:
• An assessment of all museum assets
• Digital scanning of assets. This could be as simple as scanning printed documents to PDF or as
complex as running 3D digital scans of objects and embedding metadata about the object's
history.
• An electronic database that manages archival material and its storage location for retrieval.
• Audiovisual interface devices to access the content
• Potential connection to the Internet feed to make all content easily accessible regardless of
location
• A method for generating revenue from accessing the content
7.0 IDEA FOR CONSIDERATION - SMARTPHONE VISITOR APP FOR THE ENTIRE SITE.
The entire site could lend itself to utilizing a customized smart phone app to enhance user interaction.
This app could address a wide range of content and features from the functional (such as an easy point
of sale interface or a method to view digital museum archives) to more cutting edge (such as a site
augmented reality tour using the WiFi system and showing key events in the site's history and focusing on
its indigenous past.)
