The Getty Center in Los Angeles announces details of a visitor-experience renovation that will include new tram service and upgrades to key public areas. The museum says it will replace the futuristic tram that has been running to the campus since 1997, updating the system with new tram cars designed to reduce passenger wait times and increase capacity. The people-mover technology work is set to be handled by Doppelmayr, according to the museum’s plan. In addition to the transportation changes, the Getty will reimagine its entrance area as part of the renovation. Gehry Partners is involved in designing the refreshed entrance, which is intended to improve how visitors arrive and move into the site. The museum also describes plans for new or reconfigured green spaces as part of the broader effort to reshape the grounds and visitor experience. The announced components focus on improving circulation—both from the parking/arrival areas to the museum itself and within the arrival zone—while modernizing tram operations that have been in place for decades.
