Challenger Learning Center
The Challenger Learning Center, named in honor of the seven crew members of the space shuttle Challenger that was destroyed upon takeoff in 1986, is a program for K-12 students to learn about and experience science by actually “flying” a mission into space.
The program had outgrown its current facility and is to move into space created in the vacant commissary building the Air Force occupied. The program called for gutting the existing interiors, creating a new entry for the program’s own identity, along with a lobby and reception space, creating space for the program, to include the “space station”, “mission control”, the “shuttle”, and various types and sizes of activity rooms, a mezzanine for office space for the foundation that operates the program, along with exhibit/function space, a gift shop, and a multi-purpose room with high-tech audio/video capabilities to include receiving feeds from NASA and watching actual shuttle launches.
