Powerhouse Science Center Construction

Construction on the new Powerhouse Science Center continues on the Sacramento River. Steel beams have been placed to help hold walls of the building while it undergos stabilization and complete rehabilitation with construction of a new floor level inside and a new intermediate floor for exhibit space. A new two-story, 22,000SF addition will be built on the east side of the existing building containing an entry lobby,  classrooms, offices, a café and a 110-seat planetarium. The price tag for the new Powerhouse Science Center is about $50 million, a mix of public and private dollars.
