CORTLAND, N.Y. — SUNY Cortland announced that its updated Ross E. Bowers Hall Science Museum and Greenhouse will formally open next Thursday Sept. 28 with a ribbon-cutting event in the science complex’s first-floor lobby.
The recently renovated museum will feature a massive, interactive periodic table of elements, an ornithology exhibit featuring preserved passenger pigeons, and a mural that lets visitors “see” what the hills behind Bowers Hall looked like 17,000 years ago, the university said in a news release.
“Our guiding principles were that whatever was displayed needed to have an interesting story to it, have an educational component to it and it needed to look good,” Christopher McRoberts, professor of geology and curator of the museum, said in the release. “Our goal is to use that space both for our current students who walk through it, even for teaching in some regards, but also as a space that prospective students and people in the community can visit.”
