Scope Of Work
We renovated the existing planetarium and added a two-story education center and observatory with a third-floor outdoor deck. The planetarium features a renovated theater with a new projection screen, sound system, and expanded seating. The Challenger Center provides space mission simulations with the elevator serving as the space shuttle ride from the first floor to the second floor. A cone-shaped concrete silo with a 90,000-pound concrete platform is the main entry into the observatory’s 360-degree rotating dome.
