There are certain values that have been assigned throughout history to cultural buildings that are dedicated to the arts and sciences. The result of a search to further understand these values will lead to architectural form and space planning. This Science museum will include traditional spaces along with scientific research facilities that will be used by North Dakota State University. The site for this project is close to the existing NDSU Downtown facility and the Plains Art Museum. The location of this new Science Museum will create a cultural center that will assist in the revitalization of downtown Fargo.
