The San Diego Children's Discovery Museum was designed by Rob Quigley Architects. It is a sensational 50,000-square-foot, three-level building featuring transparent, flexible spaces that highlight the museum’s design.

One of its prominent characteristics is a 17-foot concrete bridge at its entrance that allows guests to admire the buildings angled saw tooth rooftop, glass-enclosed elevator, and tilted concrete panels.

With a focus on sustainability, the building utilizes recycled material, water-saving devices, and a passive air system.

Each of the rooms are designed to fit the themes in which they explore, including art, science, and world culture activities providing a creative flow from room to room.
