[edit] 2006-2007 Renovation and Expansion

In 2006 the Center began a construction project intended to expand and renovate the Center's facilities from 88,388 to 132,286 gross square feet. This project is expected to cost $28.4 million USD and is expected to conclude in the fall of 2007. During construction, the Center's exhibits have been moved to a new permanent satellite location, the FAC Modern, in downtown Colorado Springs.
