The
largest part of our Phase II expansion, World of Ecology,
is a complex project requiring the collaboration of a
multifaceted group of professionals. The project, which
will add 170,000 square feet to the Science Center, will
double the amount of exhibit space available. The design
team includes award-winning architectural firms and live-habitat
designers, interactive-exhibit designers, and the managers,
curators, researchers and writers of the Science Center.
The interaction of designers and science educators has
resulted in the emergence of unique characteristics and
innovative solutions for presenting ecological concepts
to families, students and teachers.
