The John R. Oishei Foundation has awarded the Buffalo Museum of Science with a grant in the amount of $1 million. This money will put used to strengthen the museum’s Master Plan, including the funding of two new Science Studios.
These studios will be designed to facilitate content updates to reflect the most modern advances, to keep the museum timely and relevant. Science Studios will open the door for science inquiry and connections to subjects like biomedicine, physical science, and engineering. It will be a superior forum in which to learn about what’s happening in Western New York, too.
The John. R. Oishei Foundation strives to be a catalyst for change, to bolster Buffalo’s economy and overall quality of life for residents.
“The opportunity to support the creation of engaging, hands on science that showcases the exciting innovations taking place in our community was very attractive to our foundation,” said Robert D. Gioia, president of the John R. Oishei Foundation. “We are pleased to support this important effort that through collaboration will bring science alive, and reinvigorate one of our important cultural institutions.”
