“We can confirm that the Science Museum of Western Virginia’s lease is expiring on December 31st, 2026. We wish them much success in finding a new location and would be happy to find new ways to support them in their next space. Though our focus is to utilize the spaces within our buildings to bring people downtown, we understand the value of the Science Museum of Western Virginia’s outreach efforts and look forward to hearing about their future success in this area and beyond. We are looking forward to sharing more information about Center in the Square’s plans for the 4th and 5th floors in the months to come as we are passionate about creating interactive, educational environments that encourage guests to continue visiting Downtown Roanoke.”
