Space Camp’s New Front Door

front of SPOC building

On Friday, May 19, 2023, the U.S. Space & Rocket Center opened the new front door to our camp programs: the Space Camp Operations Center.

This was our campus’ first new building since 2008, the Operations Center will take the camp experience to new heights with a large auditorium, classroom space, and state-of-the-art technology.

We hosted Governor Ivey, along with leaders in government, industry, and the community in celebration of this milestone event.

Guests joined us as we cut the ribbon on this new facility and offered an exclusive look at the space that now hosts campers as they develop the building blocks for success in cyber, aviation, aeronautics, robotics, and other STEM careers.
