BACK TO SCHOOL
HYDRO
Opens: November 2022
Focus: Water
The 122,000-square-foot Hydro building will house water research and education efforts, including helping K–12 students understand how humans might better conserve the precious liquid. In one exhibit, kids will turn O to different operations, such as a farm, factory, or home; the exercise illustrates the difficult decisions people must make when distributing the vital resource. Plus, the water quality lab run by Denver Water, which does thousands of tests each year to ensure the city’s water is safe, will move from southwest Denver to Hydro. Lab experts will explain the testing processes to visitors and allow them to run simple experiments to determine if samples are clean or not.
