Chanen managed the construction of the $8 million Phoenix Museum of History, part of the Heritage Park Projects. This $47 million civic improvement project also includes the Arizona Science Center (see Science Center project sheet) and the Heritage and Science Park Garage and Streetscape (see Streetscape project sheet).
The 20,000-sq.-ft. museum is constructed of sandblasted concrete masonry units with a curved pre-manufactured roof joist and galvanized roof system. The extensive glass and aluminum skylight system with perforated metal sun screens is a prominent design feature. These diverse materials required long-lead delivery and exacting coordination to assure the successful completion of this project.
Placing one of the major exhibits, a 1905 Davenport narrow-gauge steam engine, was a major construction challenge. The train was positioned on a slab with a six-foot track before the museum walls were erected around it.
