I've seen the concept drawings on paper for the new facility, and Calgary is in for a real treat. It's going to be one of the most high-tech science centres in North America.
BTW, if you drive by the current facility, there's construction going on on at the rear of the building on the Bow Trail side. This is called the Creative Kids Museum, and the entire building will, literally, be picked up and moved to the new facility once the new science centre is constructed.
Also, the C-Train will run through to the west, but there's red tape involved in the decision process because the current science centre is only apprx. 5 years away from being designated a historical building, and at that point it cannot be demolished. So, at this point, the fate of the current facility is in debate as we speak.
BTW Mr. Coffee, I think I may have reviewed your business marketing report at some point... I remember taking a look through those a while ago. There was some really good stuff in there!

Why wouldn't they just construct the Creative Kids Museum at the site, don't they have all the land issues worked out and everything?
That's great news that it will be such an advanced building. On the CSC website however, they mention that there were several different prototype themes they were looking at (like math, biology... and I forget the last one)- have they chosen a theme/look yet?
I'm not sure my group's marketing report would have been one of the "better" ones if you know what I mean. We actually didn't end up doing very well. Some of them however were unreal.. from what I saw.
