ABOUT: Powerhouse Science Center has inspired children to explore the wonders of science and nature through interactive programs and exhibits since 1951. The bond proceeds will move the facilities to the historical PG&E Power Station Building in Sacramento, which will be renovated. Moving the facilities will expand its exhibits for students at different grade levels. Once rehabilitated, it is anticipated that the building will meet certification for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. The project will create 60 full- and part-time jobs.
