NEW WATERFRONT CENTER

Our education programs, public services, events, exhibits, and collaborative partnerships require much more space than our existing 51-year-old building can provide.  We are in the midst of a capital campaign to create a new energy-efficient cultural center, plaza, and wharf on the downtown Coos Bay Highway 101 waterfront.   The new 19,000 square foot building will support our ever-expanding role as community center.  In addition to event venues, classrooms, meeting space, a research library, a bookstore, and professional research & curatorial services, it will create a plaza with room for demonstrations &
“hands-on” activities, community gatherings, public markets and community festivals events.
