In addition to our annual fund needs, the Museum is working to engage funders from both the private and public sector in the following projects. Over the next ten years the Museum will continue to renew or replace our environments and experiences, guided by our mission and these development themes:
- Signature Learning Experiences – create experiences
that are interactive, relevant, smart about using technology and
generate earned income for financial stability;
- Sustainability and Green Initiatives – provide a
teaching tool for our members and visitors as well as a way to reduce
Museum environmental impact and operating costs;
- Capital Replacement – ensure planned, strategic lifecycle replacements as exhibits age.

Conclusion
We envision a one-of-a-kind place, a science park, offering
extraordinary experiences indoors, outdoors, and through virtual media
where children and adults learn through the pursuit of their own
interests and curiosity. Realizing the full potential of the Museum
will require enthusiastic users, committed partners and engaged
stakeholders. As the Museum moves forward, investment to support our
key annual priorities as well as exhibit fabrication and maintenance,
educational programs and ongoing refurbishment will be critical to our
success as an important community resource. We invite you to visit us,
experience what the Museum is all about and learn more about what an
investment in the Museum of Life and Science can do for our region.

Make a difference
We welcome an opportunity to discuss in more depth how you can make an
important difference to the Museum’s mission by supporting project or
capital needs. Here are a few ideas:
Greening the Museum
What would it mean for our visitors and
for Museum sustainability to have a solar-powered café or an electric
car recharging station? Environmental sustainability and the greening
of the Museum include a number of projects, such as using solar panels
for some outdoor exhibits to reduce the Museum’s carbon footprint,
reduce energy costs, and educate our visitors about actions they can
take to do the same in their own homes and businesses. The Museum is
seeking partners to help us become greener and demonstrate these
alternatives to a large audience.
