HISTORY AND BACKGROUND   The name Interactive Science Education Exhibit Center (ISEEC) was coined in December 1994 during the deliberations of the Science Building Task Force.   After four years of meticulous and painstaking planning and construction, the Sonderegger Science Center was open for business in January 1999.   The Science Building was dedicated by the physicist, astronaut, Sally Ride in April 1999. The ISEEC Committee was appointed and met for the first time in October 1999.   The ISEEC comprises the heart of the building, located in a central atrium near all the main entrances.   The ISEEC houses interactive, multimedia exhibits to convey an integrated view of nature and science. Incorporating a wide range of media, e.g. physical models, living systems, computer simulations etc., these exhibits will be eye-catching, active, and engrossing for science students of all ages.   Teachers and students at different grade levels (K-16) work collaboratively on a variety of science projects and display and discuss their work.
