" This new facility will be a wonderful educational attraction for families along the I-95 corridor, and I will continue to support the efforts of ScienceSouth to get young people excited about science, math and technology."
The design of the Sprung building alone is a lesson in science and technology. The Sprung structure consists of an
aluminum frame, insulated cross section and an architectural membrane. The structure has been developed to
withstand wind, fire, snow, and just about any menace that nature can deliver.
The aluminum frame showcases the strength, lightness, and simplicity of aluminum as a building material.
Aluminum has an indefinite life expectancy and actually increases in strength with age because aluminum does
not suffer from the corrosion inherent in steel structures. In addition, aluminum is 100% recyclable with no
loss of quality.
The material in the insulated cross section is a formaldehyde free fiberglass blanket. It is the only such
formaldehyde free product available in the world. The result is a building that has excellent safety and
energy conservation properties. Having properly insulated structure is important in reducing energy costs.
The building itself is energy efficient, movable, and able to withstand forces of nature. This unique structure
will be the perfect setting for the unique activities ScienceSouth offers.
