The Arizona Challenger Space Center is setting up temporary headquarters at Metrocenter Mall in Phoenix.
Visitors won’t find the full museum the center had in Peoria, but the non-profit is renting 5,400 square feet of office and classroom space to continue education programs with area schools. The mall’s owner, Carlyle Development Group, will provide space for the center’s gift shop heading into the holiday season, said Beverly Swayman, the center’s executive director.
The mall also provided storage for exhibits and artifacts, she said.
