Museum of Science and Industry: Omniphase Addition
Tampa, FL
$21,800,000
Batson-Cook constructed a 130,000-square-foot, four-story addition
to an existing science and industry museum. The project included
a 353-seat OMNIMAX Theater, located within a 104-foot diameter precast
concrete sphere, covered with blue curved stainless steel panels.
A pedestrian walkway, one of the project's most challenging aspects,
spirals around the sphere to a vantage point at the top. The facility
houses traveling and permanent exhibit spaces, an auditorium, a
café, gift shop, library, and offices for staff and executives.
