The Fleet Reimagined
Welcome to the Fleet Reimagined
As the second phase of our Science Starts Here capital campaign and the first major renovation undertaken since the late 90s, this project is an exciting milestone for the Fleet that will inspire hands-on science learning for generations to come. This renovation will improve visitor experience and expand space for programs and exhibitions by 20% within our existing footprint.
Renovation upgrades:
- New Community Gallery Entrance - A free-to-the-public entrance gallery connecting through the current theater lobby.
- Enhanced Theater Experience - A dedicated queuing and concessions area for the Heikoff Giant Dome Theater.
- Café Expansion - A full-service kitchen, expanded menu, and dedicated ice cream stand (yes, you read that right!)
- Multi-Use Gallery Space - The current entrance rotunda will be transformed into a flexible, engaging exhibition space.
- Basement Gallery Space - A brand new, never-before-seen basement gallery experience.
