History

In 1984, a group of Lubbock residents started visiting science museums across the U.S. and Canada with the aim of establishing one in Lubbock. In 1986, a board of directors was formed and the Science Spectrum was incorporated. The Spectrum opened on February 11, 1989.[1]

The logo of the Science Spectrum is the prism.[1]
