Womxn in Design (WiD): Hard Hat Tour - Museum of Science, Public Science Common

Event Description

The Museum of Science (Boston) is reinventing itself to make manifest its mission of Science for All. To achieve this ambitious goal, the Museum completed a Blue Wing (2018) and Carbon Neutral Master Plan (2024) and is now implementing both. The project includes the Public Science Common (a four sided glass box, flexible theater); Exhibits, Universal restrooms, full MAAB upgrade to the Museum campus, and the infrastructure to support the Museum's sustainability goals to be a carbon neutral leader in the region.

Join the BSA Womxn in Design Affinity Group in an interactive discussion with the Museum, the Architect, and the Construction Manager as they discuss the complexities and joys of designing and constructing the new Public Science Common at the Head of the Charles River.
