Stepping inside was always a funny juxtaposition: going from the Fantasia on the outside, in, to the din of the Exploratorium. In its old space, the museum was a buzzing, windowless warehouse, centered around a shop where museum staff figured out how to hack together its hundreds of quirky contraptions that help teach kids scientific concepts and where everything had a familiar, “do it yourself” feel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I first took this job, a designer friend of mine said, 'So you gonna clean this place up?' And I said, 'No, please.'\" laughs Tom Rockwell, the director of exhibits at the Exploratorium. He took the job knowing it would eventually involve a move.

Planners are hoping that will improve attendance. The Exploratorium has about 600,000 visitors a year now, half the annual total of the Ontario Science Centre in Canada, which is a similar museum. And there’s the California Academy of Sciences' new building in Golden Gate Park, which has overshadowed just about everything else in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, there are other things that could just work better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you needed air conditioning in the old building, we would buy an air conditioning unit for, like a house, and bolt it to the wall with plywood,\" says Chuck Mignacco, building operations manager. We're standing in front of the new building. There are still active piers nearby, but this one is now a state-of-the-art green building. And he is excited about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Think of the building like a living thing,\" Mignacco explains. \"This one, unlike the old one, has a brain and a computer in it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal is for this new building, which will have 600 exhibits, to be net-zero energy -- to produce as much electricity as it consumes. There are 85,000 square feet of solar panels on the roof, and on the inside there's the Bay Water Room, part of the mechanical system for the building. The colorful pipes in the room suck water in from San Francisco Bay, which -- since we’re out on a pier -- is directly below our feet. The cold water helps regulate the temperature of the building – it cools off the warm spots and then distributes the heat to cooler places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the building is kind of a science experiment in itself. Marc L’Italien, from the San Francisco-based architecture firm \u003ca href=\"http://www.ehdd.com/\">EHDD\u003c/a> is the lead designer on the Exploratorium, and he says, that's part of how net-zero energy buildings work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_51339\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 407px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2013/03/centralgallery.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-51339 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2013/03/centralgallery-617x360.jpg\" alt=\"An artist's rendering of the Central Gallery in the new building, where exhibits will focus on sight and sound.

Stepping inside was always a funny juxtaposition: going from the Fantasia on the outside, in, to the din of the Exploratorium. In its old space, the museum was a buzzing, windowless warehouse, centered around a shop where museum staff figured out how to hack together its hundreds of quirky contraptions that help teach kids scientific concepts and where everything had a familiar, “do it yourself” feel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I first took this job, a designer friend of mine said, 'So you gonna clean this place up?'

Planners are hoping that will improve attendance. The Exploratorium has about 600,000 visitors a year now, half the annual total of the Ontario Science Centre in Canada, which is a similar museum. And there’s the California Academy of Sciences' new building in Golden Gate Park, which has overshadowed just about everything else in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, there are other things that could just work better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you needed air conditioning in the old building, we would buy an air conditioning unit for, like a house, and bolt it to the wall with plywood,\" says Chuck Mignacco, building operations manager. We're standing in front of the new building. There are still active piers nearby, but this one is now a state-of-the-art green building. And he is excited about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Think of the building like a living thing,\" Mignacco explains. \"This one, unlike the old one, has a brain and a computer in it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal is for this new building, which will have 600 exhibits, to be net-zero energy -- to produce as much electricity as it consumes. There are 85,000 square feet of solar panels on the roof, and on the inside there's the Bay Water Room, part of the mechanical system for the building. The colorful pipes in the room suck water in from San Francisco Bay, which -- since we’re out on a pier -- is directly below our feet. The cold water helps regulate the temperature of the building – it cools off the warm spots and then distributes the heat to cooler places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the building is kind of a science experiment in itself. Marc L’Italien, from the San Francisco-based architecture firm \u003ca href=\"http://www.ehdd.com/\">EHDD\u003c/a> is the lead designer on the Exploratorium, and he says, that's part of how net-zero energy buildings work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_51339\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 407px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2013/03/centralgallery.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-51339 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2013/03/centralgallery-617x360.jpg\" alt=\"An artist's rendering of the Central Gallery in the new building, where exhibits will focus on sight and sound.

That waste is truly astronomical.

That’s a petroleum product. “4% of the world’s oil production is used as “feedstock” for plastic,” according to Bryant, “and another 4% provides the energy to transform it into plastic.” And of course then there’s the fuel needed to transport it to market. San Francisco has some of the cleanest, freshest water in the world coming out of the taps. Yet it wouldn’t take you long to find someone walking down the street with a bottle of water that came from France or Fiji at 1000 times the price of the water coming from the kitchen faucet.

That waste is truly astronomical. And keep in mind that it takes at least 1000 years for those plastic bottles to break down in the landfill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most plastic bottles are made of polyethylene terephthalate, or PET. That’s a petroleum product. “4% of the world’s oil production is used as “feedstock” for plastic,” according to Bryant, “and another 4% provides the energy to transform it into plastic.” And of course then there’s the fuel needed to transport it to market. San Francisco has some of the cleanest, freshest water in the world coming out of the taps. Yet it wouldn’t take you long to find someone walking down the street with a bottle of water that came from France or Fiji at 1000 times the price of the water coming from the kitchen faucet.

In March, the museum announced it received two anonymous donations from Bay Area high-tech leaders totaling $90 million, provided that they raise an additional $40 million from other sources. The donations are the largest the museum has received since its founding in 1969.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project received a permit in March from the Bay Conservation and Development Commission which required the museum to mitigate for the environmental impact of the new construction and the dredging and hauling of nearly 75,000 cubic yards of mud from the Bay, which has already begun. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The San Francisco waterfront is easy to get to and it has all around it the natural beauty and everything that the Exploratorium is all about. So it adds to the excitement,” said Will Travis, executive director of the Bay Conservation and Development Commission, known as BCDC. “It will take what is now a treasure in the region and make it an international phenomenon.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, the museum has looked at alternative sites to accommodate the more than 500,000 visitors who annually pass through its doors and to boost its renowned professional development workshops for science educators. The Exploratorium’s new campus at the piers will be the length of a New York City block and nearly five times larger than its current space. Its managers also expect a doubling in the museum’s attendance, given the proximity to public transit at the waterfront. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project represents another major boost for fans of Bay Area science and environmental education, coming two years after completion of the new California Academy of Sciences museum in Golden Gate Park, which opened in September 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco real estate investment and development firm, Wilson Meany Sullivan, which played a key part in the redevelopment of the Embarcadero Ferry Building, has been hired by the Exploratorium to oversee development of the new museum, which Dennis Bartels, the Exploratorium’s Executive Director, claimed would be “the first neutral energy museum in the world.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/quest\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2010/10/2_Exploratorium_-1161.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>Exploratorium Executive Director Dennis Bartels.

That's way cool.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Exploratorium was the brainchild of Frank Oppenheimer, a physicist and the younger sibling of atomic bomb developer Robert Oppenheimer. The museum encourages adults and children to play with its nearly 500 on-site exhibits, artworks and displays, fostering an environment where fun is a prerequisite to learning about science, whether it’s DNA or the Doppler Effect. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Exploratorium helps educate a science literate society. And we need that,” said Sue Pritchard, a former head of the California Science Teachers Association who teaches middle school students at a public school in Orange County. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oppenheimer served as the museum’s director from its opening in 1969 to his death in 1985. He also designed many of the museum’s exhibits, including one located roughly 100 feet from the front door which features rubber balls that start bouncing in a transparent chamber when a dial is turned by museum patrons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is an exhibit that can entrance a four-year-old or a physics professor,” said Paul Doherty, co-director of the Teacher Institute at the Exploratorium. “It teaches that when a gas gets hotter, the molecules of the gas move more quickly, on average. And some of the molecules move really fast and some of the molecules move slowly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 1984, the Exploratorium has offered training to science teachers from around the world through its National Science Foundation-supported Teacher Institute. One hundred teachers are accepted to participate in its summer program, where for one month, six hours a day, five days a week, teachers learn how to build scaled-down versions of Exploratorium exhibits they can use in their classrooms. In 2009, the institute offered a toy workshop to teachers, showing them, for example, how to build tugboats of aluminum baking pans to help foster classroom discussions about force and motion. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the power of the Exploratorium. It gets the students' minds thinking. Thinking, sharing and doing,” said Pritchard, who has attended the Exploratorium’s Summer Institute six times since 1998. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It caused me to totally change how I teach science,” she added. “I realize textbooks have their place but there’s so much more to teaching science. And when you have no money coming in to support science, you appreciate knowing the inexpensive ways to enlighten the students and to bring to the classroom this excitement and passion for science.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/quest\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2010/10/2_Exploratorium_-0632.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>Crowd behind Piers 15 and 17 at the groundbreaking event for the new Exploratorium.

He was the one who said that the Exploratorium is never finished. So he believed it was always an act of creation, always a process of changing itself and trying on new things and always experimenting. And to have this kind of site to do our experiments, just to see the excitement in our staff, to see that would have made him grin from ear to ear.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> 37.800862 -122.398668\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The Exploratorium, San Francisco’s popular hands-on science museum, is unveiling long-awaited plans for its future home at Piers 15 and 17 along the San Francisco waterfront, a quarter-mile northwest of the Ferry Building.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1287529556,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":42,"wordCount":1914},"headData":{"title":"Exploratorium Unveils Plans for New Home | KQED","description":"The Exploratorium, San Francisco’s popular hands-on science museum, is unveiling long-awaited plans for its future home at Piers 15 and 17 along the San Francisco waterfront, a quarter-mile northwest of the Ferry Building.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":""},"disqusIdentifier":"9652 http://www.kqed.org/quest/blog/2010/10/19/exploratorium-unveils-plans-for-new-home/","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/quest/2010/10/19/exploratorium-unveils-plans-for-new-home/","disqusTitle":"Exploratorium Unveils Plans for New Home","path":"/quest/9652/exploratorium-unveils-plans-for-new-home","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"left\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/quest\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2010/10/2_Credit-ZUM_New-Exploratorium-at-Pier-15-View-from-the-Embarcadero.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>Illustration of the Exploratorium's future home at Pier 15.

So it adds to the excitement,” said Will Travis, executive director of the Bay Conservation and Development Commission, known as BCDC. “It will take what is now a treasure in the region and make it an international phenomenon.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, the museum has looked at alternative sites to accommodate the more than 500,000 visitors who annually pass through its doors and to boost its renowned professional development workshops for science educators. The Exploratorium’s new campus at the piers will be the length of a New York City block and nearly five times larger than its current space. Its managers also expect a doubling in the museum’s attendance, given the proximity to public transit at the waterfront. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project represents another major boost for fans of Bay Area science and environmental education, coming two years after completion of the new California Academy of Sciences museum in Golden Gate Park, which opened in September 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco real estate investment and development firm, Wilson Meany Sullivan, which played a key part in the redevelopment of the Embarcadero Ferry Building, has been hired by the Exploratorium to oversee development of the new museum, which Dennis Bartels, the Exploratorium’s Executive Director, claimed would be “the first neutral energy museum in the world.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/quest\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2010/10/2_Exploratorium_-1161.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>Exploratorium Executive Director Dennis Bartels.

The constant temperature of the Bay can actually be set up to a heat exchanger so that we can get both heat and cooling right out of the water through a radiant floor system,” said Bartels. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new space will boast a 32-foot observatory with a rooftop “Outdoor Learning Center”, indoor and outdoor exhibits, a courtyard, a tidal pool, a restaurant and café, as well as a “Bayside History Walk” at each of the two piers which will feature interpretive exhibits of San Francisco’s maritime history.

That's way cool.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Exploratorium was the brainchild of Frank Oppenheimer, a physicist and the younger sibling of atomic bomb developer Robert Oppenheimer. The museum encourages adults and children to play with its nearly 500 on-site exhibits, artworks and displays, fostering an environment where fun is a prerequisite to learning about science, whether it’s DNA or the Doppler Effect. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Exploratorium helps educate a science literate society. And we need that,” said Sue Pritchard, a former head of the California Science Teachers Association who teaches middle school students at a public school in Orange County. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oppenheimer served as the museum’s director from its opening in 1969 to his death in 1985. He also designed many of the museum’s exhibits, including one located roughly 100 feet from the front door which features rubber balls that start bouncing in a transparent chamber when a dial is turned by museum patrons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is an exhibit that can entrance a four-year-old or a physics professor,” said Paul Doherty, co-director of the Teacher Institute at the Exploratorium. “It teaches that when a gas gets hotter, the molecules of the gas move more quickly, on average. And some of the molecules move really fast and some of the molecules move slowly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 1984, the Exploratorium has offered training to science teachers from around the world through its National Science Foundation-supported Teacher Institute. One hundred teachers are accepted to participate in its summer program, where for one month, six hours a day, five days a week, teachers learn how to build scaled-down versions of Exploratorium exhibits they can use in their classrooms. In 2009, the institute offered a toy workshop to teachers, showing them, for example, how to build tugboats of aluminum baking pans to help foster classroom discussions about force and motion. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the power of the Exploratorium. It gets the students' minds thinking. Thinking, sharing and doing,” said Pritchard, who has attended the Exploratorium’s Summer Institute six times since 1998. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It caused me to totally change how I teach science,” she added. “I realize textbooks have their place but there’s so much more to teaching science. And when you have no money coming in to support science, you appreciate knowing the inexpensive ways to enlighten the students and to bring to the classroom this excitement and passion for science.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/quest\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2010/10/2_Exploratorium_-0632.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>Crowd behind Piers 15 and 17 at the groundbreaking event for the new Exploratorium. (Credit: Sheraz Sadiq)\u003c/em>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Doherty, the Exploratorium’s move to the waterfront piers marks an exciting period of growth for the Teacher Institute, which currently must turn away two out of every three applicants for lack of space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We may now be able to accommodate 120 teachers during the summer and maybe see a 30 percent increase in our physical space for the Teacher Institute,” he said. “In the new Exploratorium, we’ll be doubling the number of classrooms and there will be entirely new programs that use those classrooms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2004, the Exploratorium has been working with the Port of San Francisco to negotiate a 66-year lease and development agreement for its use of 136,000 square feet at Pier 15 and 110,000 square feet at Pier 17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution that exempted the museum’s lease of the piers from San Francisco’s competitive bidding process because of its “uniqueness as a special cultural and educational opportunity for the people of the City and County of San Francisco.” Supervisors approved the project last November. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked what founder Frank Oppenheimer would think about the Exploratorium’s future home, Bartels said, “He would be so proud. He was the one who said that the Exploratorium is never finished. So he believed it was always an act of creation, always a process of changing itself and trying on new things and always experimenting. And to have this kind of site to do our experiments, just to see the excitement in our staff, to see that would have made him grin from ear to ear.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> 37.800862 -122.398668\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/quest/9652/exploratorium-unveils-plans-for-new-home","authors":["6176"],"categories":["quest_8"],"tags":["quest_288","quest_13199","quest_1041","quest_1139","quest_1178","quest_13203","quest_3162"],"label":"quest"},"quest_7720":{"type":"posts","id":"quest_7720","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"quest","id":"7720","score":null,"sort":[1283266821000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"6-maker-activities-for-the-burning-man-blues","title":"6 DIY Activities For The Burning Man Blues","publishDate":1283266821,"format":"standard","headTitle":"QUEST | KQED Science","labelTerm":{"site":"quest"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"left\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/quest\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2010/08/1411777068_cb128640f7_o1.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003cem> What to do when all your friends are at Burning Man?
