They’ve scheduled presentations with several prominent local organizations as well.
Designed by Glendale-based architectural firm Alajajian Marcoosi Architects, the 30,000-square-foot site will feature exhibition space, classrooms, research offices, and performing arts theater. The exterior was designed to resemble the mountainous regions of both Armenia and Glendale. The intended location is on a 1.7 acre parking lot situated next to the Glendale Civic Auditorium and directly across from Glendale Community College.
The Armenian Genocide Centennial Committee is the organization behind the project. They envision the Armenian American Museum as a national landmark celebrating cultural understanding and ethnic diversity.
