Connecticut Opens LEED-Certified Science Center

Connecticut recently opened the doors to its Connecticut Science Center designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects. The center consists of a parallelogram shaped tower, a narrow glass building and an S-shaped roof. LEED-certified, 95% of the steel used to build it comes from recycled cars. PV panels and a fuel cell provide nearly 2/3 of its power. With a 3D digital theater, 4 labs, 150 hands-on exhibits and programs and events, the center will cater to science buffs of all ages.
