La Nube

The new 70,000 SF children’s museum is positioned within the heart of El Paso’s Downtown Arts district, close to the vibrant San Jacinto plaza and less than one kilometer from El Paso del Norte, a major border-crossing station. To the north, the site is bounded by the Union Pacific Railroad, one of two major transcontinental freight lines in the western United States. RSM Design is working closely with the entire development team to craft a wayfinding signage program for the museum that is both youthful and appealing to families as well as sensitive towards a diversity of cultures and languages.

THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME

La Nube means ‘the cloud’ in Spanish. Against the El Paso skyline, La Nube stands out with its cloud-like structure. The architecture and vision for La Nube was inspired by “Blue Sky Thinking,” or exploring ideas without limitations. The La Nube team wanted the museum to be space where children and parents discover and learn new things—a place where the sky’s the limit!
