Brothers Caleb and Joshua Duke share the honor of cutting the ribbon at the Carl Hayden Visitor Center Grand Reopening Ceremony on Tuesday. They were joined by Rick Frost, William Shott, David Murillo and Jason Tucker. Tuesday’s ceremony marked the first full redesign and replacement of all of the visitors’ center displays since the facility was originally opened in 1968. Several display replacements were installed since 1968, but this is the first full replacement of all the displays. The new informational and interactive displays are updated with the latest science and data and applied the latest educating techniques focusing on STEM (Science, Technical, Engineer and Mathematics) careers.  The Carl Hayden Visitor Center is visited by more than 600,000 people per year.
