Arizona Science Center

It was founded in 1984 as the Arizona Museum of Science & Technology in a downtown storefront.

Its current building, designed by Antoine Predock, was completed in 1997.

[citation needed] Following sustained demand, construction of the 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2), Antoine Predock-designed facility was completed in 1997.
