The J. Paul Getty Fine Arts Center both consolidated and expanded the Getty Trust's facilities, previously scattered around the Los Angeles area. The Center includes a major art museum (The Getty Center for The J. Paul Getty Trust), library (Getty Center For The History of Art and Humanities), a separate auditorium building with a 450-seat theater, conservation laboratories (Getty Conservation Institute), and offices for The J. Paul Getty Trust.
The project is located on a 110-acre hilltop site in Los Angeles. The facility includes 940,000 square feet of campus-like buildings set among 24 acres of gardens and terraces.
The project represents an unprecedented undertaking; the construction of almost a 1,000,000 ft2 museum complex as a single project. The project will meet or advance the state of the art in museum technology in almost every area as well as meet California's rigorous Title 24 energy legislation.
