- Improved accessibility and visitor orientation through upgrades to Getty’s iconic tram system, a redesigned arrival and departure experience, and new wayfinding support.

- Campus-wide improvements to buildings, public spaces, and utilities—including cell service and wi-fi connectivity—to align long-term stewardship and sustainability goals. Read more here
