La Purisima Mission State Historic Park Visitors Center, Lompoc, CA
A complex of four buildings, designed to be built in phases when California State Parks obtains funding.
The main Exhibit Hall has just been completed under Phase 1. The buildings were designed so as not to
compete with the existing adobe mission. A deliberate decision was made so that the building would not compete
as an adobe building but to recall the barracks that housed the CCA volunteers who helped restore the mission
to it's present condition. Spaces were carved out of the form of the barracks to create both indoor and outdoor
areas that could accomodate the exhibits and programs offered by the park rangers.
