The
Amgen Center for Science Learning is more than just
the provider of educational programs to the California
Science Center. In 2004, the Amgen Center for Science
Learning opened a major new facility, the Wallis Annenberg
Building for Science Learning and Innovation, to support
its efforts, inviting scientists and educators to use
and contribute to this new, major resource in science
education.

The
Amgen Center also worked closely with the Los Angeles
Unified School District to open the Science Center
School, a neighborhood, charter elementary school which
opened in Fall 2004. The architect for the Wallis Annenberg
Building and Science Center School, Thom Mayne of Morphosis,
was recently announced as the winner of the 2005
Pritzker Architecture Prize. |
