Before the soaring glass walls of Portland’s Eastside waterfront Science Center became a landmark, there was a different kind of wonder. It lived not in a building designed by a starchitect, but in a repurposed, labyrinthine National Guard armory. This was the original —a name that evokes not just a place, but a specific era of tactile, chaotic, and deeply physical learning. While the "OMSI" (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) of today is polished and efficient, the Omsicentrum was a glorious, noisy, and slightly unpredictable machine that shaped the scientific identity of a generation.
