Mt Wilson- Los Angeles_Conceptual

Nestled in the tranquil setting of Mount Wilson, this small yet impactful Research and Education Center is thoughtfully designed to serve as both a hub for scientific exploration and an educational destination. With the capacity to host up to 25-30 school-age children at a time, the center offers a unique opportunity for immersive learning experiences, blending science and nature in a way that sparks curiosity and inspires discovery.

The facility features two distinct areas: the upper level dedicated to research and public education, and the lower level providing private residential spaces for scientists. This thoughtful separation ensures a balance between accessibility and privacy, with the site’s natural topography shaping the layout to meet the specific needs of both students and researchers.

For visiting children, the center offers excursions that bring science to life, encouraging hands-on exploration and connecting them to the wonders of Mount Wilson’s ecosystem. From interactive workshops to guided field studies, students gain invaluable insights that deepen their understanding of the natural world and scientific inquiry.

By combining community-focused education with a serene environment for research, the Mount Wilson Research and Education Center fosters collaboration, innovation, and inspiration, becoming a vital resource for the local community and beyond.
