The new Mobius Science Center is located on the main floor of a former department store in downtown Spokane. The highly interactive facility was designed to promote hands-on exploration of science, technology and math. It also provides outreach programs such as school workshops, demonstrations, lectures, summer camps and festivals. The 28,000 square foot facility includes a large exhibition space, demonstration areas, lab space, science store, snack area, group rooms, offices, exhibit work shop and support areas. The interior design fosters a multi-sensory experience by striking a sophisticated balance between an environment that leaves the visitor with a lasting magical impression of its identifiable character and a design that fully supports functional requirements such as a flexible plan solution and a sustainable (“green”) approach.
