Entrance to the former Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company building, 701 West Main Street, Durham, North Carolina. This building in downtown Durham was built in 1948 and served as a cigarette manufacturing factory for the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company. In 2013 it sold for $7.5 million to Wexford Science & Technology. Wexford is part of the real estate investment trust BioMed Realty and specializes in developing facilities for institutions, especially universities, university-led research parks, and health care systems. It plans to develop the building for use by life science and technology companies.

Some insects are beneficial for crops and some are destructive. This researcher is rearing pest insects to find better ways to combat them.
May construction progress on the region's premier science center.

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.
