Multi-million dollar expansion for St. Louis science centre
According to a report in the St. Louis Business Journal, the Saint Louis Science Centre in Missouri, US, is planning to build a new 13,000sq ft, US$9.5m (£6.2m) exhibition hall adjacent to its main entrance off Oakland Avenue.
The new space will replace the existing 1996 Exploradome, which is reported to be nearing the end of its lifespan and needs to be replaced. Site preparation is already under way and the new hall is scheduled to open next summer. It will connect to the east side of the Science Center, just south of its main entrance and its inaugural exhibit will be announced during the autumn. The Exploradome will be taken down shortly after the new hall is completed.
The new structure, with PGAV as architect and building work by Alberici Constructors, will house travelling exhibits, such as the current "Real Pirates," and special events, such as SciFest.
