The California Science Center breaks ground for the new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, a new 200-thousand square foot addition to the California Science Center.

The new educational center will feature 150 interactive exhibits spanning three major multi-level galleries themed “Air” Space” and “Shuttle” because it will become the permanent home of Space Shuttle Endeavour. The Endeavour is one of the remaining flown space shuttle orbiters and the only one located on the West Coast.

In the new Center, Endeavour will be installed vertically, in ready for launch configuration. In the meantime, we can visit and learn about the Space Shuttle Endeavour and the Space Shuttle program at the current exhibition and venue at the Samuel Oschin Pavilion at the California Science Center, 700 Exposition Park Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90037, californiascienceenter.org
