Works#Public-Private Partnership (PPP/PFI)

Renewal of the Science Museum due to the aging of the existing Science Museum facilities and displays items. We received a proposal based on the DBO* method, which integrates design, construction, and operation, and completed construction in a short period of about one and a half years from schematic design. With the main goal of providing active learning-type learning, we are planning displays based on the basic policy of experiential stories that lead to deep learning through spontaneous action by inducing interest from experience. Zoned under six themes of nature, power, sound, light, space, and new technology, the displays space is equipped with more than 100 new science experience devices, almost all of which are centered on the large centerpiece displays, which symbolizes each zone that can be attended by a large number of people. With the cooperation of Hamamatsu's leading companies, we have developed displays to stimulate interest in local industries throughout the building. In addition, we have introduced the world's first scientific information learning system (app) equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) for science museums, realizing a new way of communication concept design that expands interest and knowledge through dialogue. In addition to the displays rooms, we have also renovated the welcome displays at the entrance with art by local artist Yasuhiro Suzuki, the Kids Science Land, a café, a shop, and an outdoor science park to make it concept design a comfortable place not only for children but also for adults, while incorporating the elements of a science museum. * DBO method (Design, Build, Operate): A method of public-private partnership in which design, construction, maintenance, and operation are comprehensively ordered to private companies.

A science museum located in Takeo City, Saga Prefecture that opened in 1999 and focuses on displays related to space. Since 2006, our company has been the representative of the "designated manager" and currently operates the property jointly with Mabec Co., Ltd. It was renewed in 2015 and will undergo further renewal in March 2024. The concepts are ``nurturing children's scientific minds,'' ``conveying the wonders of discovery and creation,'' and ``discovering and recognizing the relationship between a comprehensive understanding of the universe, the earth, and Saga, and their own relationships.'' In addition to displays that enhance learning, we have planned displays that are popular with tourists and can be disseminated nationwide. ``Bicycle Tightrope Walking'' not only aims to be a hot topic, but is also an `` displays that unleashes children's minds through science'' and is an important way to appeal to the mind that ``a scientific mind can create a variety of new experiences'', leading them to the entrance to science. , unfolds in the central "gravity" corner.

The Tama Rokuto Science Museum opened in 1994, underwent its first displays renovation in 2001, and underwent its second renovation in March 2013.

Features of displays design include the ``Lab'', an experiential space where you can deepen your scientific learning through communication with staff, the ``Connecting Spot'', an information dissemination space that collaborates with local human resources, companies, and academic institutions, and fostering interaction between generations. One notable example is the installation of three "kids spaces" in each displays room. Through these mechanisms, we continue to maintain an displays space that is ``people-centered'' and ``continues to grow and change.''

This facility opened in 2011 and is currently operated jointly by NOMURA and the Morioka City Tourism and Convention Association as the representative "designated manager."

While leveraging our comprehensive capabilities to hold exhibitions and events, we also actively engage in activities with the cooperation of citizens, such as volunteers recreating judgments in skits at the restored magistrate's office. It also plays a role as a research center for Nagasaki Studies, and operates in collaboration with its founder to ensure the continuity of cultural administration.
