5,000 square foot STEAM Maker Space and Science Center in downtown Calgary, Canada. Project intention to bring family audiences to downtown location as part of the BMO Expansion and revitalization project.
The project is literally a “lightning rod” for the downtown community. The copper roof of the STEAM Maker Space and Science Center are conductive rods to create evening light shows (see https://youtu.be/PdrqdW4Miao). The Center will have interactive kinetic artwork, a cafe, science exhibits, and drop-in maker space in electronics, computer programming, and mechatronics.
The Center will have a projection-mapped exterior with digital performances. The interior space will include Laser Cutters, 3D printers, and power tools.
Project Budget: $2.5M usd including building and exhibits
