Ithaca Science Center

Location: Ithaca, NY

The Story:

This local project is one of the largest we had undertaken up to that time. It began with extensive renovation and an addition to an existing building. Some of the museum exhibits are a ball machine and a water trough. The outdoor Emerson Science Park is itself a geometry exhibit, built on a North-South coordinate grid. Play elements include an echo tube, a whisper dish, a suspension bridge, and a fulcrum swing.

The Sciencenter is currently working on a second phase—a large addition that will include a discovery room, a teen technology clubhouse, an exhibit development shop, an early childhood area, and an amphitheater.
