After three years of construction, Lowell Observatory is opening its new Marley Foundation Astronomy Discovery Center.
Replacing the Steele Visitor Center as its main entry building, the Discovery Center puts a new focus on interactivity and public engagement for the observatory. Lowell Observatory broke ground on construction of the Astronomy Discovery Center in June 2021.
The $53 million building has two floors of interactive exhibits and conference rooms, along with a rooftop patio and night sky observatory.
