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.

Description: The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant, an expanding cloud of gas which originated from the explosion of a massive star, witnessed 1000 years ago by Chinese astronomers. Its delicate and intricate structure is related with the magnetic field trapped in the hot gas. This image, made from a series of Hubble Space Telescope photographs, is one of the most detailed ever.

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.

In Spring, 1995 I finally had the chance to see the Carnegie Science Center's model railroad.
According to the museum's website, " This beloved exhibit's story began in 1920 with a man named Charles Bowdish of Brookville, Pa. Originally a holiday display on the second floor of his house, it moved to the Buhl Planetarium in 1954, and ultimately found its final home at Carnegie Science Center in 1992."

Scenes from COSI's "Cow Eye & Sheep Brain Dissection" homeschool workshop, held on Thursday, November 1, 2012. Students ages 12 and up explored animal anatomy and organ function through dissection exercises using a cow's eye and sheep's brain. COSI Outreach Educator Becca Kelly lead the class. COSI is Columbus, Ohio's dynamic Center of Science and Industry. For more information, please visit www.cosi.org.

The new science building on the Baylor campus. This building is amazing. Outside there is a little man-made creek running along side the building. Inside, the building looks like an office building mixed with a university.
Wilson Hall, Fermilab's administrative building towers over it's prairie-like surroundings near sunset on a cloudy December day. The building is named after the lab's first director, Robert Rathbun Wilson - also the building's designer. Wilson Hall was based off of St. Pierre's Cathedral in Beauvais, France,
Set Description: For fun, myself and a group of friends took a grade-school like field trip of Fermilab, the nation's biggest particle physics laboratory and home of the Tevatron particle accelerator. Here are some photos.
