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.

Originally placed in the Enos Mills Auditorium at the visitor center, the wall covering added to the overall atmosphere of the theater. Presenting a film to introduce visitors to the scenery and history of Rocky Mountain National Park, the theater played a crucial role in connecting guests’ brief experiences inside the visitor center with the park’s scenic landscape.
With a strong emphasis on park visitors' movement, Mission 66-era buildings and their furniture walked a tightrope between highlighting the park’s natural beauty and displaying architectural prowess through the visitor center’s modernist design. As they appreciated Olgivanna Lloyd Wright’s bold rust-orange color scheme, guests might take note of how the wall covering created a seamless transition between the theater and other parts of the visitor center.
