Built in 1994 at a cost of $ 63.8 million, this site was once Jungleland. The project was designed by AIA Gold Medal architect Antoine Predock in Postmodern and Modern combined architectural styles including large statues mounted on the sides of the building.

In 2015, an operating center for the proposed Museum of California Art, Thousand Oaks, opens in a town-owned parcel next to the square.
The 210,000 square foot building is adorned with Indian sandstone. At its peak, this building has ten levels; underneath, 22 feet underground where it docked in volcanic rock. This site is home to the pre-colonial Chumash summer camp, known as Ipuc (Ven-654).
