Important Note: As of this writing (August 12, 2006) the Liberty Science Center is under construction and the main building is not available. It is scheduled to open in mid-2007 with even more of what made the LSC a household name. The new Center for Science Learning and Teaching will offer three classrooms, three laboratories, a theater, and other state-of-the-art facilities where teachers, groups and families will have the opportunity to participate in exciting programs ranging from single sessions to in-depth explorations of a particular subject in residency programs.

New exhbitions will include

• Skyscraper -- a 12,800 square foot exhibition that introduces visitors to every aspect of high-rise buildings, from their design and construction, to their impact on the way we live.
• Communication -- exploring human communication from a global perspective through four exhibition areas: Body and Language; Symbols, Signs and Writing; Print, Audio and Video; and Signs and Networks -- all addressed in LSC's inimitable fashion.
• Infection Connection -- a look at infectious diseases like you have never had before through six interactive exhibit areas.
• Our Hudson Home -- a wonderful tribute to our beautiful Hudson River, exploring in ways that will give visitors a new understanding of the river and surrounding areas.
• Breakthroughs -- an interactive, multimedia gallery featuring changing exhibitions that highlight the changing world of science and technology.
• Eat and Be Eaten -- the predator-prey relationship will be brought to life in a 4,000-square foot experience.
• Young Learner Exhibition -- interactive, age-appropriate, self-guided exhibits will help children better understand the world around them.

All of this, and more, is to come. Liberty Science Center has always offered the best, the biggest, and the most engaging education in science and technology, so this new construction is an exciting prospect..
