Planetarium Architect's Birthday
Channel: Saint Louis Science Center
Date: 28/02/2023

Today we are celebrating Gyo Obata, the influential St. Louis architect who designed our iconic James S. McDonnell Planetarium as well as our newer GROW Pavilion. Today would have been his 100th birthday. His contributions - locally, nationally and internationally - leave behind an unforgettable legacy.

In addition to our Planetarium and GROW Pavilion, Obata’s designs include the Galleria shopping centers in Houston and Dallas, the Kellogg Co. headquarters in Michigan, the Florida Aquarium, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Illinois, and King Khaled International Airport in Saudi Arabia. #PlanetariumTurns60
