Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum, Brigham Young University

Our task was to design a Life Science Museum on Brigham Young University’s campus that integrated a classical facade with modern interior and functionality, was exactly 30,000 square feet, and whose proportions were to follow the golden ratio. The museum was designed to exhibit and promote their world renowned wildlife collection, live animal collection, bird exhibit, gift shop, classrooms, orientation theater, and wet collection.
