The new location at Pier 15 will triple the space indoors and out, double the number of classrooms and triple the capacity for professional development programs for science educators. The $250 million raised to date brings the Exploratorium more than 80% of the way to fulfilling the capital campaign, with construction at the new site now approximately 90% complete. The Exploratorium set a goal of raising $300 million for the construction and transition to the new space, and to establish an endowment to support the museum's programming and exhibit development into the future. Known for creating original, interactive exhibits on display at more than 1,000 science centers, museums and public spaces around the world, the Exploratorium will use the new space to reach more people than ever before and expand its mission to change the way the world learns.
