| Michelle and the Marketing Monkey construction zone ready! |
We got a "sneak peak" of the NEW Discovery Science Museum that is scheduled to open up Spring of 2012 on the corner of Cherry and College in Old Town Fort Collins.
The museum is 43,000 square feet (approximately the same size as the Fort Collins Lincoln Center) and has a budget of $24 million dollars. The building itself is designed as a model of best practices in minimizing energy use and environmental impact. Their technology, innovation and design are attracting global attention and they are on the leading edge of museum design and technology.
The digital dome theater planned for the new museum is an immersive, large format 360 degree theater. Using digital video and audio technology, the theater will feature interactive educational shows, planetarium-style experiences, and movies that explore a wide range of science, history, and cultural subjects.
The museum also meets the specifications to house popular traveling exhibits such as Lewis and Clark, on a smaller scale locally.
The museum is still looking for sponsors, running a campaign of $1,000 from 1,000 - which is collecting $1,000 from 1,000 Ft. Collins residents. Additionally, they have a slot open for a $100,000 donor to sponsor their outdoor event and recreation area (a steal of a deal!).
