Loudoun County:
“A new children’s science museum plans to debut a hands-on
learning space in Fair Oaks Mall by spring 2015, its organizers announced
Tuesday. The Children’s Science Center will host interactive exhibits and
experiments in a mall storefront as a leadup to a full-scale museum in Loudoun
County, projected to open in 2019.
The center looks to fill a hole in Northern Virginia, which
is the largest metropolitan area in the country without its own dedicated
children’s museum, said Nene Spivy, the museum’s executive director. Both the
Fair Oaks Mall space and the full museum will target children ages 2-12, Spivy
said, and encourage their exploration of STEM subjects--science, technology,
engineering and math.
The mall location, dubbed ‘The Lab,’ will take over a
5,400-square-foot space previously occupied by an Uno Pizzeria. It is located
at an outside entrance to the mall between the Sears and Lord and Taylor anchor
stores.”
