The Powerhouse Science Center

Pioneer Law Group, LLP is proud to be a founding partner of the Powerhouse Science Center.

THE POWERHOUSE SCIENCE CENTER

For nearly 50 years, the PG&E Power Plant at Jibboom Street has stood empty, an elegant, decaying hulk on the banks of the Sacramento River. Prominently visible from Interstate 5 just north of Downtown, this historic site will be transformed into a world class, Smithsonian‐affiliated science center. The new riverfront complex includes four floors of exhibit space within the historic building, a new digital planetarium theater, classrooms, Challenger Learning Center, riverfront restaurant and special events center. The multi‐faceted complex is projected to draw approximately 500,000 visitors a year.

Our concept carefully preserves the facade of the original 1912 Willis Polk‐designed structure while adding decidedly modern building elements as counterpoints. The project is aiming for LEED Platinum certification and will have several cutting edge alternative energy demonstration features.
