HAMPTON, Va. - New exhibits and an upgraded name.
A lot has changed at the Virginia Air & Space Center in the last few months, starting with the sign out front that now reads Virginia Air & Space Science Center.
The name change is to more accurately reflect its mission and the core community constituents it serves, according to a November release, which goes on to say Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) learning will continue to be a large focus.
It comes on the heels of a $1.5 million renovation that shut the building down for three months in late 2020.
