Museum Teaching Great Outdoors Relies on Indoor Comfort Controls
Since 1893, Boonshoft Museum of Discovery (Dayton, OH) has been providing hands-on learning to its visitors. Named in honor of Oscar Boonshoft, one of the museum's most dedicated friends, it is a two-story, 90,000-sq-ft interactive museum visited by families and school groups.
Its mission focuses on teaching the 280,000 visitors it has annually about the significance of many different types of environments that surround us, including the ocean, the tropics, the desert, wetlands, forests, and space. The latter is made possible by the exciting addition of the new Digistar II planetarium projection system that has the ability to chart 1 million years (into the past or future) in the sky.
