Nature Research Center

Connecting people to research that affects their daily lives.

Scheduled to open in spring 2012, the Nature Research Center (NRC), our new 80,000 square-foot wing, will bring research scientists and their work into the public eye, help demystify what can be an intimidating field of study, better prepare science educators and students, and inspire a new generation of young scientists.
