Project Description
This is a planning project to determine the feasibility and schematic design for a proposed Kubota Garden Visitor Center. There is currently no funding for construction of the project. The new facilities are proposed to be located within a natural, historic, and culturally significant landscape, with its structures designed to be secondary to the Garden setting.
The anticipated primary uses would include:
- a welcoming space with a reception/exhibit area
- a small gift shop
- a meeting room to accommodate program events and indoor exhibitions
- restroom facilities
- outdoor courtyards and decks for informal gatherings
- an office space
Planning, programming, and early design efforts for the Visitor Center have begun and we anticipate holding a community meeting in the fall of 2025 to share the progress.
