Café Sci
Café Sci removes science from the lecture hall into a cozy, fireside discussion. The goal is to engage the public in science in a non-traditional way. At Café Scientifique, a scientist introduces a current, science-related topic and then opens the floor for discussion. Café Scientifique is held once a month, usually on the 4th Thursday of the month, from 7-9 p.m.

The Huffman Gallery

Visitors enter the Huffman Gallery and are greeted with a sweeping view of the Arboretum and gardens through the glass walls that line the Gallery from end to end. The Huffman Gallery was conceived as a curved covered bridge. Light coming in through the dormers on the south side works as a sundial to express the seasons. The building was oriented to have a passive solar orientation, taking advantage of the sun in the winter and shading from the cedar trellis over the porch in the summer. The floor of the Huffman Gallery is natural cleft dark green slate.

The Gallery and Fifth Third Conference Center can seat 175 - 200 people. The Huffman Gallery is available only when the Entire Education Center is rented. For pricing, please see Facility Rental Fees.
