Shanghai, China
Shanghai Scienceland, China's first major science museum, has chosen the Los Angeles office of RTKL to design the interiors of the two-building facility. Five galleries, a large format theater, 3D dome theater, as well as an interior courtyard, restaurants, shops, and a multifunction hall will be housed in the main building.
The second building will accommodate a research library, labs, and support functions along with housing for visiting scholars. A bridge link will connect the two buildings.
Shanghai ScienceLand Development Co., Ltd., is developing the $200 million, 957,640-sf project. An October 2001 completion date is anticipated.
