An Oakland LandmarkSet on four city blocks by Lake Merritt in downtown Oakland, California, the Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) was designed by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates and is an iconof mid-century modernism. It first opened its doors in 1969. Roche’s design united under one roof Oakland’s collections of art, history, and natural sciences, which had been housed in differentmuseums across the city. The building became a milestone in museum design; its interrelatedinterior spaces, tucked under landscaped terraces and opening onto lush gardens, transcended the boundaries that had separated the collections.
Inspired by the vision of OMCA as a “museum for the people,” Roche designed a communitygathering place, with terraced gardens, a central courtyard, walkways, koi pond, and outdoorsculpture courts that continue to provide an urban park for Oakland residents and visitors.Renowned landscape architect Dan Kiley designed the multilevel rooftop gardens and surroundingarboretum to complement the structure’s modernist geometry. The building is an acknowledgedmasterpiece of civic architecture. Recognized as one of the most significant examples of post-World War II modernism in America, the museum was also one of the first sustainability-consciouslandmark buildings in the country.
Reinvigorating an IconIn 1999, Mark Cavagnero Associates began working with the museum to develop a detailedSpace Needs Assessment and Program, which culminated in a conceptual design and budget toaddress its evolving space and infrastructural requirements, while honoring the originalarchitecture and landscape vision of Roche and Kiley. The project was reviewed and approved byKevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates and adopted by the museum for implementation. Inthree phases, the project addresses the transformational needs of the museum without degradingthe significance of the original design.
To achieve more exhibition space within the museum, the design team favored a more subtlesolution over building a new structure upon the existing terraces. Two previously underutilizedwalled-in courtyards adjacent to the gallery space were enclosed with lightweight steel structuresthat lift above the space complementing the existing concrete building. Clerestory glass wraps the new gallery enclosures allowing diffused natural daylight to fill the space. The tall enclosurespaces accommodate large-scale art works previously not exhibited within the museum. From the terraces, the new gallery enclosures are understated, rising only 5 feet above the existingconcrete walls and do not impede on the views beyond.
Additionally, the work addresses improvements in visitor circulation by providing clear points ofentry/access to the museum. A new stainless steel entry canopy extends out to Oak Street makingthe main entrance more apparent and inviting, while complementing and clearly differentiatingfrom the existing building. Together with the new sky-lit canopies at the central stairway, coveredcirculation is now provided throughout the museum to further interconnect the galleries andvisitor experience.
Preservation and SustainabilityThe renovation and expansion of the Oakland Museum of California is designed with sustainabilityas a core value and achieves LEED Silver certification under USGBC’s LEED-NC program. Theproject approach is one of restraint in finding ways to do more with less and finding optimizedsolutions to achieve the overall goals of the project. This approach is consistent with the primarygoal of the project—to preserve the historic structure with minimal modifications. All the work isconsistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Propertiesfor Rehabilitation and reviewed thoroughly by the City's Historic Preservation Committee toensure further compliance with the City's historic landmark ordinance.
In 2009, the museum closed for construction and in May 2010, the “museum for the people”reopened to the public offering a fresh new visitor experience. 11

When Cassandra came to Napa in 1996, she took over a redevelopment agency tainted with a history of destruction and neglect of historic buildings, an image shewas determined to change. She saw the value of investing resources for community-wide benefits and promoted the preservation of historic resources by creatingopportunities to assist owners of historic properties in downtown Napa with theirpreservation efforts through innovative programs and initiatives. Some of theseprograms included development and owner participation agreements, seismic retrofitincentive programs, historic tax credit and Mills Act programs, historic surveys and context statements, and other educational endeavors that encouraged historicpreservation and increased awareness in the Napa community. Cass’ leadership andvision for the Riverfront and the preservation of Downtown’s historic resources hasresulted in not only remarkable economic success—over $940 million has beeninvested in Downtown Napa during her tenure—it has set a precedent for attention to aesthetic detail and superior design quality.
Cass’ personal commitment to historic preservation has not been confined to herposition with the City. She has long been involved with local and regional preservationprograms, including the California Preservation Foundation, which she led as Presidentfrom 2000–2003, and served as a Board Member for 10 years. She supports Napa’slocal preservation organizations, the Napa County Historical Society and Napa CountyLandmarks. She has received statewide recognition for her work— from the CaliforniaEconomic Development Association to the California Redevelopment Association.
Cassandra Walker has been a guiding and unifying force in Napa’s historicpreservation effort for almost two decades. Her legacy will be forever linked to therestoration, rebirth, and revitalization of the City of Napa.

The Legislator of the Year Award was created to honor an elected official fromCalifornia who has made significant contributions to historic preservation.Assemblyman Jared Huffman (D-Marin) was selected by the California PreservationFoundation Board of Trustees for his commitment and leadership to save CaliforniaState Parks from closure. The passage of AB 42, authored by Assemblyman Huffman,is an important tool to protect natural, cultural and historic resources in our stateparks. This important legislation provides the means to ensure their protection forcurrent and future generations of Californians by allowing non-profit organizations toenter into agreements to help steward these important resources.
In his four-year tenure chairing the Assembly’s Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee,he has brought attention to the funding, policy and structural challenges facingCalifornia’s state parks system. AssemblymanHuffman has been a proponent ofincreasing funding for state parks and was a strong supporter of Proposition 21, theState Parks and Wildlife Conservation Trust Fund Act of 2010. In 2007, Huffmanauthored Assembly Bill (AB) 1457 to try to protect state parks from destructive roaddevelopments. In 2011 authored AB 42 to provide a new tool to help try to keepCalifornia’s state parks open. AB 42 allows nonprofit organizations to help take adirect role in helping prevent park closures. The bill allows DPR to enter into operatingagreements for the improvement, restoration, care, maintenance, administration, oroperation of a unit or units of the state park system with qualified nonprofitorganizations.
Now law, AB 42 allows nonprofits to keep state parks open and is a vital tool forensuring continued, appropriate protection of the critical natural, cultural and historicresources contained in our state parks.
