After months of anticipation, Science World iconic dome, a beacon of curiosity and wonder, will light up the night sky starting August 10th.
The city’s beloved landmark is ready to dazzle once again.
Originally known as the ‘Expo Centre’, Science World’s dome has evolved into an iconic attraction over the past 35 years.
It stands proudly as an emblem of education, scientific discovery, and community pride.
To ensure the dome continues to be the leading centre for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Design and Math) education in the province, Science World is working on various technological and essential building upgrades.
The replacement of the dome’s exterior lights marks an exciting symbol of the ongoing progress being made to the dome.
This state-of-the-art lighting system not only enhances capabilities but also boasts the latest LED technology, making it more sustainable and energy-efficient.
The new lighting system, along with a number of other upgrades over the last year, was made possible thanks to $10M in funding from the federal government through PacifiCan’s Tourism Relief Fund back in October 2022.
A non-profit organization, Science World reaches over three million people a year through their False Creek location and province-wide programming.
Their mission is to ignite wonder and empower dreams through science and nature, fostering STEAM learning across the province and beyond and nurturing the next generation of STEAM talent.
Science World will be illuminated each evening from dusk to dawn using 651 LED lights, three times as many lights as before.
Science World offers opportunities for events, charities and non-profits to build awareness for their organizations by illuminating Science World in colours themed to their cause.
