Floor Plans for full build-out.
For over 50 years, the 1912 Willis Polk designed PG&E Power Station at 400 Jibboom Street has stood empty, an elegant, decaying hulk on the banks of the Sacramento River. Prominently visible from Interstate 5 just north of Downtown, this historic site will be transformed into a premier regional destination for science education, exploration and promotion in Northern California.
The new riverfront complex - designed to achieve LEED Platinum - includes eight interactive, content-rich exhibit spaces, a new full-dome digital theater, a new Aerojet Challenger Learning Center, scientific discovery labs/classrooms, green roof, cafe with riverfront views and access from the American River Bike Trail. This multi-faceted campus is projected to draw approximately 320,000 visitors a year.
In April 2011, a grant of $7M was awarded to the Powerhouse Science Center to build the new Earth & Space Science Center building which will house the new full-dome digital theater, the new Aerojet Challenger Learning Center and The Magic Planet interactive exhibit, among others. In December 2011, Aerojet donated $1.5 million for the new Aerojet Challenger Learning Center. In May 2014, the City of Sacramento voted to pay $350,000 per year for 20 years in support of the project.

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.

Executive Dean for the Faculty of Social Sciences, Professor Todd Landman responding to the challenges of social science.
The Faculty of Science offers Science Rocks! summer camps every year throughout July and August. Designed especially for young people in Grades 4, 5, and 6. These camps are great fun and an awesome learning opportunity for campers.
In the morning today, Science Rocks kids focused on interesting behaviours of fire and light and explored the state of solids and liquids. In the afternoon, outdoors activities included water fun in the sun.
Construction continues on site.

It's a science building in a great location near to downtown Vancouver. With IMAX cinema and interesting machines and puzzle this place is a heaven for the kids they can enjoy their times and learn at the same time.

Description: The intensity of the solar radiation between wavelengths 4000 A and 4100 A is shown in this spectrum at high resolution. The solar output shows numerous absorption lines, which result from the presence of a multitude of chemical elements, such as iron, in the Sun's atmosphere. Atomic transitions in a given element originate absorption features at specific wavelengths in the spectrum, thus allowing to identify the solar composition from the analysis of the Sun's light.
