San Fran Museum Opens Doors
June 17, 2008

The property, now encompassing 63,000 square feet of exhibition, program and office space, was once home to the Jessie Street Pacific Gas & Electric Power Substation. Designed by Daniel Libeskind, the structure's adaptive reuse has left it ensconced in q sheath of blue steel panels that appear to change colors with the time of day, viewpoint and the weather. In addition to serving as a home for CJM, the project constitutes another step forward in the city's effort to revitalize the Yerba Buena district.
