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 of Philanthropy initiative has grown quickly in two short years. The two-day conference, held both in downtown Chicago at the Fairmont Hotel and on the University of Chicago campus at the Saieh Hall for Economics on November 7- 8, 2014, attracted 200 attendees this year. The event included 44 talks from researchers and practitioners, as well as keynote talks from Nicholas Epley and Charles Longfield, executive vice president and chief scientist for Blackbaud. A third conference is planned for September 2015.
Pupils from Monteney Primary School, Sheffield, and Holy Trinity School, Barnsley, visit the University of Sheffield for a buckyball workshop with Professor Sir Harry Kroto. The session was part of Kroto Day, when Sheffield graduate Sir Harry, who the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for discovering a new form of carbon known as buckminsterfullerene, visited his old department.

This jar of jelly beans sits in the 15th floor visitors center. The colored jelly beans represent the amount of "normal" matter scientists have been able to account for in our universe - roughly 5%. The other 95% is made up of dark matter and perhaps dark energy. No one knows for certain yet, but one thing is for sure. We still have a lot to learn about our universe.
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.
