Description
Visiting the Water + Life Museum last week was a homecoming of sorts for me; representing the Ingersoll Rand Company during the excavation of the Domenigoni Valley during the late 90s, I was there when the first bones of a prehistoric mastodon were first discovered, leading to the eventual establishment of the museum. My interest in visiting the museum was only heightened upon learning that the project was completed by a local architect that I had previously met, Michael Lehrer, interviewing him for my column "Who's Who in Silver Lake" and as a feature article for the Los Feliz Ledger. The project was the first museum to earn the distinction of being LEED Platinum certified. Exhibits at the museum display an amazing assortment of fossils unearthed during the construction of the Diamond Valley Lake Reservoir, a massive civil engineering project, the largest earthwork projcct in the history of the United States completed in 1999. The museum, now referred to as simply the Western Science Center is located at 2345 Searl Parkway, Hemet CA, 92543.
