The Armenian American Museum and Cultural Center of California recently celebrated a major milestone with the installation of the first structural steel beams at its construction site. This event marks a significant step in the development of the highly anticipated cultural and educational center.
Executive Vice Chairman Zaven Kazazian expressed his enthusiasm, “We are thrilled to witness the structure of the museum rising and taking shape. We are grateful for our community’s unwavering support to build a landmark center that will advance education, preservation, and enrichment for future generations.”
Located within Glendale Central Park’s museum campus, the unique institution is currently under construction. The initial phase, consisting of the museum parking garage and the building foundation, has been completed. Presently, the second phase is in progress, involving the construction of the two-level museum building, which spans 50,820 square feet.
For this significant project, PNG Builders, the museum’s general contractor, selected Muhlhauser Steel as the structural steel subcontractor after a comprehensive bidding process. Muhlhauser Steel, a Southern California-based company, brings over 40 years of experience in constructing commercial, industrial, educational, and entertainment facilities.
The museum aims to foster understanding and appreciation of America’s ethnic and cultural diversity by highlighting the Armenian American experience. It plans to offer a variety of public programs, including Permanent and Temporary Exhibitions, an Auditorium, a Learning Center, a Demonstration Kitchen, an Archives Center, and more.
