Discovery Center of Springfield opened it's doors 12 years ago today. Happy Birthday!!!
Those community leaders and visitors who remember the early days know that EnergyWorks, Wonderland, Discovery Town and BodyWorks were the original galleries when the doors opened in 1998. You could only visit Wednesday - Sunday. We had only three people on staff and a handful of volunteers. What a difference 12 years and generous believers can make! We now have 11 galleries and over 180 exhibits, 80 active volunteers and a wonderful attraction and educational resource with National recognition and the 1st LEED Certified Gold building in the region. WHEW.....
DCS staff, volunteers and board thank the Jr. League of Springfield, Greene County Medical Society Alliance and all those that share the vision of what a difference a Science Center can make in the lives learners of all ages throughout the region.
