An interview with Kevin von Appen and Lesley Lewis, Ontario Science Centre employees, for The Trill Podcast, on the premature closure of the OSC. The Trill Podcast is short for The Trillium , a news outlet that covers the Ontario government policies at Queens Park. Lewis and von Appen provide context on why and how the OSC was built and what is happening now.

An abrupt closure of the Ontario Science Centre (OSC) due to concerns that the roof may not be able to withstand the snowfall this summer and put attendees at risk. The structural engineering reports that the current provincial government based their decision off of, can be found here. Consequently, the OSC faces early closure. The building was in fact meant to last centuries. At least for the next Canadian Centennial, as it is a Centennial building. Meaning, during Canada\'s 100th anniversary, the Canadian government allotted each province funds to create a building of lasting and international significance. Ontario picked a science centre, with the initial budget at five million and closing budget at 25 million.

Architect Raymond Moriyama passed away, age 93. While he left a surpassing legacy of architecture, it is heartbreaking that he left us while the fate of one of his greatest works, The Ontario Science Center, is still up in the air. Above, Magical Imperfection (David Hoffert, 2020), a documentary on the late Raymond Moriyama. Magical Imperfection tells the inspirational story of world-renowned Canadian architect Raymond Moriyama. Moriyama’s acclaimed architectural achievements, including the Ontario Science Centre and the Canadian War Museum, draw upon his life experiences, including the trauma of wartime internment as a Japanese Canadian. Imprisoned in his own country during the 1940s because of his race, Ray found the strength to combat injustice by devoting his career to social justice and equality.
