Museum/Industry Showroom

A new home for the San Antonio Museum of Science and Technology and other education and cultural entities. An adjacent industry showplace—accessible to all—will highlight innovations being developed at the Port and throughout the region.

This space will play many important roles—giving audiences a glimpse into innovations and related careers in their community.

The center will also serve as a showroom—much like a permanent world’s fair pavilion with rotating exhibits—that allows industry participants to sell their technologies locally, nationally and globally.

Co-Working/Maker Spaces

An area for professionals from many disciplines to come together to work closely in the creation of new technologies, and to develop the next generation of innovators.

Adjoining the co-working area will be an ample maker space—an industrial laboratory that allows collaborators to develop and test prototypes of integrated technologies.

Technology Arena and Conference Center

A magnet for the public, industry and educators alike is a state-of-the art technology arena withan expected capacity of 2,500 guests.

Large video monitors and other equipment will provide San Antonio with its first grand virtual showcase. The space can be configured as an auditorium or conference center to hold large meetings and conduct demonstrations and training programs in cybersecurity, virtual and augmented reality and other technologies. It will also be available to local educators and national events that include Cyber Patriot competitions that support the development of the skills of the next generation of digital experts. And it will also serve as an electronic gaming arena—a recreational venue drawing young people from throughout the community and connecting them with the museum and collaborative educational components of the innovation center.
