"Botanical Building Update - March 2024" - San Diego, California 🇺🇸

The Botanical Building was closed to the public for construction preparation in January 2022.
Phase I, which includes the interior and exterior restoration and renovation of the Botanical Building structure, is anticipated for completion in 2023. When Phase I is done and the public is invited back to the facility, the building restoration (structural) and the interior work will be complete. Exterior work may be ongoing at that time.
Phase 2, which is spearheaded by Forever Balboa Park, will address the exterior gardens, pergola reconstruction and is scheduled for completion in 2023. After initiating structural repairs, the City is reviewing the needs and the budget to determine the final scope of Phase 1 (City responsibility). Therefore, the complete scope of work for Phase 2 (Forever Balboa Park) and its budget and timeline is still to be determined. FBP will be responsible for funding, hiring a contractor and overseeing the work of Phase 2.
Planned:
Restored and enhanced planting and irrigation in the exterior gardens and a portion of exterior hardscaping.
The pergola that originally stood on the west lawn near The San Diego Museum of Art will be reconstructed.
Balboa Park is a 1,200-acre (490 ha) historic urban cultural park in San Diego, California, United States.[3][4] In addition to open space areas, natural vegetation zones, green belts, gardens, and walking paths, it contains museums, several theaters, and the San Diego Zoo. There are also many recreational facilities and several gift shops and restaurants within the boundaries of the park. Placed in reserve in 1835, the park's site is one of the oldest in the United States dedicated to public recreational use. Balboa Park is managed and maintained by the Parks and Recreation Department of the City of San Diego.
Balboa Park hosted the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition and 1935-36 California Pacific International Exposition, both of which left architectural landmarks. The park and its historic Exposition buildings were declared a National Historic Landmark and National Historic Landmark District in 1977, and placed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2][5] - Wikipedia
