The Liberty Science Center, located across the Hudson River from the former World Trade Center, will develop, evaluate and install an 8,000 square foot, five-story permanent exhibition about the architectural design and engineering, physics, and urban-related environmental science of skyscrapers. The exhibit will use a vertical space that includes a view overlooking southern Manhatten, the former World Trade Center, and one of the most famous urban skylines in the world. The exhibition is organized around three basic theme areas and is balanced between the advantages and disadvantages of skyscrapers. Visitors enter the exhibit through SKYSCRAPER WORLD, an advance organizer that sets the stage for the exhibit and identifies possible wayfinding pathways through other areas. BUILDING THE BUILDING (second and third levels) addresses principles in the design and construction of skyscrapers, while HABITAT AND IMPACT (fourth level) describes patterns of adaptation in the ecosystems created by skyscrapers. An outdoor observation deck (fifth level) facing the Manhattan skyline and the former World Trade Center, provides the opportunity for skyline programming. What is a Rooftop, Rooftop Garden, and Skyline Clock, assisted by binocular telescopes for observing detail, are interactive programs that use the skyline as a teaching tool. Taking advantage of the dramatic skyline seen from the Science Center, the project will document changing public attitudes about skyscrapers and analyze patterns of visitor traffic and wayfinding in a five-story exhibition tower. The exhibit is supported by mediated public programs in LSC and by experiences for school audiences, both at LSC and in local schools. Although "Skyscraper" is primarily an informal learning experience, it has significant linkages to formal in-school programs.

自由科学中心位于哈得逊河对面，与前世贸中心相望，将开发、评估和安装一个 8,000 平方英尺、五层楼的永久性展览，内容涉及摩天大楼的建筑设计和工程、物理学以及与城市相关的环境科学。 该展览将使用垂直空间，可以俯瞰曼哈顿南部、前世界贸易中心以及世界上最著名的城市天际线之一的景观。 该展览围绕三个基本主题领域组织，平衡了摩天大楼的优点和缺点。 参观者通过 SKYSCRAPER WORLD 进入展览，这是一个预先组织者，为展览搭建舞台并确定穿过其他区域的可能寻路路径。 建造建筑物（第二层和第三层）讨论摩天大楼的设计和建造原则，而栖息地和影响（第四层）则描述摩天大楼创建的生态系统的适应模式。 室外观景台（五楼）面向曼哈顿天际线和前世界贸易中心，为天际线规划提供了机会。 什么是屋顶、屋顶花园和天际线时钟，借助双筒望远镜观察细节，是利用天际线作为教学工具的互动程序。 该项目将利用从科学中心看到的引人注目的天际线，记录公众对摩天大楼态度的变化，并分析五层展览塔内的游客流量和寻路模式。 该展览得到了 LSC 公共项目以及 LSC 和当地学校学校观众体验的支持。 尽管“摩天大楼”主要是一种非正式的学习体验，但它与正式的校内课程有着重要的联系。
