The New Centre Project

The Discovery Centre is embarking on a new era in its evolution; we are poised to build a unique, state of the art Discovery Centre. The seed has been planted with a tremendous gift from Nova Scotia Power – 49,000 square feet of space along Halifax’s pristine waterfront.

The new Discovery Centre will be built on a foundation of emotion, wonder, amazement and intrigue. It will take learning well beyond books and classrooms not only providing a vital enrichment to science curriculums for all grades but also enriching the lives of all those who walk through the doors.

The Discovery Centre’s education specialists, designers and visionaries are collaborating with local experts to develop exhibits for our new home. Based on the three pillars of: changing behaviour, creativity and inspiring awe, our new exhibits will challenge the public to see science and life through a whole new lens.
