There are some significant plans to renovate the building. The current entrance, foyer and gift shop will become a Palaeo-Garden with a living wall and there will be a major expansion of the Animal Ambassador Program. The small theatre in what is currently the rotunda will become the gift shop and the new entrance. The Ted Williams History Hall will be re-configured with more room for in-house exhibits drawing on the collection and archives of over 1,000,000 entries, and a new space will be created to showcase indigenous material culture and traditional ways of knowing.

“While it looks like a break, it’s the time we’re investing into the building, investing int making it bigger and better than before,” said Harper.

The Early Explorers Preschool or Fort George Explorers After School Care Programs will not be operating this fall.

“This part of our physical closure is particularly devastating to me,” said Tracy Calogheros, CEO of Exploration Place. “We have been offering camps since 1996 and Out of School Care since 2001. However, the very same environment that makes those programs unique is working against us in a world where high-touch surfaces and closed air handling systems are unsafe. We will be embarking on a fundraising campaign to secure the necessary funds to reinvent ourselves once again, better, more modern and safer.”
