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.
Pacific Science Center includes six acres of hands-on science fun, two IMAX theaters, Tropical Butterfly House, Live Science Stage shows, Discovery Carts, Laser Dome and much more.
The Science Carnival is sponsored by the CSU Channel Islands science departments under the leadership of Dr. Phil Hampton, Professor of Chemistry. This annual event first started in Fall 2009 with approximately 250 preschool through eighth (PK-8) grade students attending the event. Over 2200 PK-8 students and their families attended the 2016 Science Carnival.
Cartoons for a Science textbook I'm illustrating. The final version will be changed from this, but I still like this one. © Ian Sampson 2011
pseudo-cosplay photoshoot wearing science blues... don't bug me about accuracy, i know every inaccuracy involved in this shoot. twas just for fun.
taking a picture at work. friend's notes about ideas for future experiments (she is a super smart cancer researcher)

Some microscopes, two centrifuges, a hot/spinner plate, a big jug of ddH2O , looks like a beaker of acetate buffer... some vials of something cotter was working with, and some media plates... thats all i can see from the picture... prob more though..
Entry hall of the impressive Science museum at Exhibition Rd. Excellent place for an interesting Sunday afternoon retreat.
By rethinking the framework for future learning environments Inspiria Science Center by AART Architects combines learning and architecture into an eventful science center. Designed as a passive house including a wide range of eco-friendly solutions, the building design supports the activities within the science center. Daylight floods through the extensive glass facades and the many skylights into the exhibition halls and the two-story atrium. In addition a wastewater treatment plant recycles the water for use throughout the science center while a wind turbine and a solar cell panel generate electricity and a solar hot water system creates domestic hot water. These facilities are not just means to an end but are designed as a part of the exhibitions and they can be seen in action by the school children. Last but not least the science center is adapted to the surrounding landscape with the three wings radiating out from the two-storey atrium. This distinctive architecture symbolises the cycle of nature and reflects the science building’s key topics: health, energy, and the environment.
