Fleet Science Center (“the Fleet”) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring lifelong learning by furthering the public understanding and enjoyment of science and technology. The Fleet is home to the world’s first and Southern California’s only IMAX Dome Theater, presenting the biggest films on the planet. Its unique configuration wraps the audience in images and provides the illusion of being suspended in space. Film topics take audiences from outer space to under water and every place in between, and are generally suitable for all ages. The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center features more than 100 interactive science exhibits in eight galleries, as well as major traveling exhibitions. Who is Reuben Hollis Fleet? Major Reuben H. Fleet was a pioneer American aviator and earned his pilot’s wings in 1917. He was commissioned by President Woodrow Wilson to establish the US Air Mail Service, which he did in two weeks at the age of 33. In 1922, he left the Army and a year later founded Consolidated Aircraft in New York. In 1935, he relocated to San Diego and during World War II his business prospered selling seaplanes and Liberator bombers to the US government and its Allies. Reuben H. Fleet and his family made the essential gift which brought into being this Science Center and, hence, is the namesake of the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center. 3 Fleet History 1957- On March 20th, a group of San Diegans met and proposed building a museum of science and industry with a planetarium as the major attraction. In August, they formed the San Diego Hall of Science, which is now known as the San Diego Space and Science Foundation. 1965- Two employees of General Dynamics, Dr. Edward Creutz (the first director of research for General Dynamic’s Atomic Division), and James Crooks, Jr. (an electronics engineer and early Atlas program pioneer) developed and unveiled a model of a planetarium with a revolutionary new concept for the proposed science museum. Departing from tradition, the new concept featured a seventy-six foot dome tilted at a twenty-five degree angle away from the audience. This was to give the illusion of being suspended in space. In addition to facilitating the sensation of space travel for the planetarium shows, the tilted dome also served as the screen for a new motion picture system which was developed for this theater. OMNIMAX (now IMAX) is still the largest motion picture projection system in the world. 1969- The City and County of San Diego, in a Joint Powers Agreement, established the San Diego Planetarium Authority to oversee the issuance of $3 million in revenue bonds for the development of the Planetarium and Exhibits Galleries. In addition, through the Reuben H. Fleet Foundation and members of the Fleet family, $1 million was provided for special equipment in the Space Theater and development of exhibits for the Galleries. 1973- Originally named the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater and Science Center, the facility opened to the public on March 10th. This was overseen by the San Diego Space and Science Foundation. 1997- On February 4th, ground was broken on an expansion to the Fleet Science Center. 1998- The new facility opened in May 1998 and has 95,000 square feet of floor space, more than twice the size of the original Fleet Science Center. It also included expanded space for educational services including the Nierman Challenger Learning Center, the Fleet Inquiry Institute, and a renovated IMAX Dome theater. 2008- The City of San Diego honored the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center as “Recycler of the Year” in their Waste Reduction and Recycling Awards Program (we also won this award 2009-2010 and the Director’s Recycling Award in 2011). Also in 2008, the Dome Theater was remodeled with sharper images and a specially- 4 designed surround sound system. The theater was dedicated to Eugene Heikoff and Marilyn Jacobs Heikoff. 2009- The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center became the first museum in the United States to offer monthly Spanish-language IMAX film screenings. The new program, “IMAX EN ESPAÑOL,” made its debut with a screening of WILD OCEAN. The shows take place during the third Sunday of every month at 4pm. 2010- The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center received a LEED Silver Certification for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance, from the U.S. Green Building Council through its efforts to dramatically reduce energy and water consumption. The Fleet now consumes less energy today than it did prior to its 1998 expansion, which doubled the size of the facility. 2012- The Heikoff Dome Theater premiered its state-of-the-art, giant dome screen digital GSX™ system with the show “Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity.” This technology allows for a more immersive and pixel-perfect experience on the new NanoSeam™ screen. 5 Fleet Volunteer Positions Museum Ambassador: An integral part of Guest Services, Museum Ambassadors ensure that guests enjoy their visit and have an excellent overall experience at the Fleet. Ambassadors welcome and greet visitors, answer visitor questions, collect tickets, monitor theater shows and galleries, staff the information podium at the entrance, facilitate school groups, and more! Gallery Facilitator: Assist visitors in Exhibition Galleries with the goal of piquing curiosity, excitement and interest in our many hands-on exhibits. Gallery facilitators will serve as gallery monitors, science demonstrators, activity leaders, and much more! Through initiating informal conversations with visitors with the goal of increasing their understanding and interest of science, Gallery Facilitators will learn and utilize the inquiry method to engage visitors. Tinkering Studio Activity Volunteer: Help create an environment where visitors can engage in extended building, experimenting, and an ever-changing array of fun activities designed to spark curiosity and foster creative activity. Tinkering Studio Activity volunteers assist in facilitating playful and inventive activities using science, art and technology. Education Programs Volunteer: Assist Science Educators with the Fleet’s educational programs and events. Education Program Volunteers assist educators with workshop activities, materials preparation and clean-up, and help supervise students. Volunteers ensure that education program participants have a fun and memorable learning experience. Event Ambassador: With an ever-changing environment, assist with exciting special events on an on-call, project-by-project basis. Special events may include: IMAX® film premiers, corporate events, and donor parties, to name a few.

  • The Greening of Balboa Park: a Holistic, Sustainable and Replicable Model
    The Greening of Balboa Park: A Holistic, Sustainable and Replicable Model Julieann Summerford, Heschong Mahone Group, Inc. Risa Baron, San Diego Gas & Electric Company Anna Stark, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Rory Ruppert, Balboa Park Cultural Partnership David McGrew, Reuben H. Fleet Science Center ABSTRACT Developed for the 1915 Panama Exposition, Balboa Park now houses more than two dozen major museums, performing arts organizations, gardens, and the San Diego Zoo. Located on over 1200 acres of land with over a million square feet of property, Balboa Park is one of the nation’s largest urban cultural centers, attracting more than 6.5 million visitors annually from around the world. Through recent collaborative efforts, Balboa Park is poised to become a national model for cultural institutions and urban parks to achieve environmental sustainability. In 2008 the Balboa Park Cultural Partnership established a Park-wide sustainability program that includes 26 cultural institutions, the City of San Diego, San Diego Gas & Electric, and many other community stakeholders. Designed to be a replicable model, the Partnership’s goals are the creation and alignment of sustainable business practices; the identification of, and communication with, key internal and external stakeholders; and the education of visitors, employees, stakeholders, and the public. All sustainability initiatives and results are benchmarked, measured and quantified—a vital component for measuring its carbon footprint and aligning with the state’s plan for energy efficiency. The Balboa Park Cultural Partnership (BPCP) has become the first network of cultural institutions in the country to benchmark the energy performance of its buildings using the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager.
