Designed to LEED Silver

Inspired by colorful images of galaxies, the Center is a tableau of ‘spacescape’ imagery.

A pleated aluminum and glass façade, made of dichroic and etched glass, simulates the rich kinetic vibrancy of comets, shooting stars, and nebulae. Framed by precision cut aluminum panels, the colorful façade faces a main arterial road in Daytona Beach and announces the Center’s mission to the world.
