Hunter Science Center

The Hunter Science Center is a modern teaching facility built around the way girls learn best: through hands-on, interactive projects that encourage collaboration. The floor plan itself is revolutionary, built on the concept of a “fractal,” a scientific term meaning that the smallest element replicates the largest.
