This immersive exhibition introduces kids to aerodynamics, material science, engine technology, and race‑car‑driver skills. It includes a two‑story, 750‑foot electric go‑kart track, plus a gallery of race cars and gear, a Formula 1 simulator, flexible event spaces, and dedicated check‑in and briefing areas.
Value Engineering
The scope of work included value engineering, demolition, new finishes, MEP upgrades, and coordination with the track vendor and external exhibit team through startup and training.
