Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Beaver Meadows Visitor Center and Rocky Mountain National Park
Beaver Meadows Visitor Center continues to be one of Mission 66’s biggest successes, and gained recognition as a National Historic Landmark in January, 2001. The building’s design is harmoniously in line with Mission 66’s driving philosophy on enhancing the visitor’s park-going experience. The impressive structure shifts the viewer’s focus to the park itself and encourages mobility. Its expansive, window-laden interior constantly reminds visitors to explore the outside world. The center’s furniture and decor, personally selected by Olgivanna Lloyd Wright and Taliesin, take a similarly modernist approach as the building, mixing manufactured aesthetic with a hint of naturality. Like Beaver Meadows Visitor Center itself, the furniture gives visitors a welcome place to rest and collect their bearings, but discourages them from lingering for too long while the park beckons.
