History

Arizona Science Center, formerly the Arizona Museum of Science & Technology, was conceived in 1980 as a pilot science center by the Junior League of Phoenix.[1] The Science Center opened its doors to the public in 1984 as a small 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) storefront exhibition space located in the parking garage level of the downtown Phoenix Hyatt. The Science Center’s first year of operation saw more than 87,000 visitors.[citation needed] Following sustained demand, construction of the 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2), Antoine Predock-designed facility was completed in 1997.[2] When the Science Center moved to its present location, Heritage Square was renamed Heritage and Science Park.[3]

Among the museum's best-known programs is the annual Snow Week.[4][5]

In 2009, the museum reached an agreement with the adjacent, closed Phoenix Museum of History to showcase their collection.[6]

As of March 2022, Guy Labine is the museum's president and CEO.[7]
