TCC Science Building

Even if I seem to be consumed with grandparenthood, David has a life. Quite a busy one, as it seems. The new Science Building opened at Tidewater Community College after Christmas break. There are still kinks to work out, but classes are being held there and David is constantly occupied in various aspects of the new structure. It is two story with two wings fanning out from a planetarium. Yes! A planetarium! David's personal playground!



Physics is on the second floor on the right.



Biology has a living lab outside between the wings.










There is an observatory just outside the building as well. The telescopes are not set up yet, but I have a shot of the roof opening.
















Now here are some pix of the planetarium:
The dome is 40 ft
It seats 81 people
There is a "command center"
and the computer with light up red keyboard.































Wow! I am so tired of manipulating these pictures around. It will have to stay as it is now!
Hey! If that is the command center, is David the Commander?
