Discovery Building

Spring has sprung at Discovery!

After 15 years, we said goodbye to our old atrium rug and rolled out something fresh and new. It’s amazing how something as simple as a new rug can brighten up the whole space and bring a new energy to our days.

We’re excited for all the moments and memories that will fill this new space in the years ahead!

🚧 Pardon Our Construction Dust! 🚧

We’re excited to share that the H. F. DeLuca Forum is getting a fresh new floor. You may notice temporary barriers and equipment as our team works to complete this project.

The Discovery Building atrium remains open to all guests during this time, though noise may be disruptive.

Thank you for your patience as we make these improvements!
