Museum of Natural and Cultural History, new collections wing, designed by Robertson Sherwood Architects of Eugene in consultation with Otto Poticha, a Eugene architect: Looking south from East 15th Avenue: Phase 1 of a three-stage expansion is a new collections wing (left, dark brown facade) and public galleria (gabled roof, right). The new wing will free the existing collections vault (gold-colored rectangle on the existing building's roof) for a new exhibit hall. The clear gold portion stands for the third phase, a second new wing devoted to archaeological research. (Robertson Sherwood Architects)
