Monterey Bay Aquarium Bechtel Family Center for Ocean Education and Leadership

Monterey, CA

The new Bechtel Family Center expands the Monterey Bay Aquarium's educational programs and offerings with an emphasis on school-age populations and the adults who influence them. R+C provided a condition assessment for a later demolished building on site, programming, and structural and geotechnical engineering for the new 25,500 sf replacement building. The new building is located at a site two blocks from the aquarium and will include STEM classrooms and learning labs with live animal displays, offices, meeting and multi-use spaces, and a rooftop garden.
