COSMOSPHERE
The Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, KS, has been revitalizing its facility since 2017 with a renovation of their café. That was the first time they brought Hutton Design+Build in. “They really helped take the project that we envisioned and pared it down to a budget we could afford.” Since then, we’ve continued installing upgrades and completing renovations to keep The Cosmosphere out-of-this-world.

THE NEXT MISSION
When it was time for the next project – the education, mission control and flight areas – the Cosmosphere knew who to call, and why. “The skill sets are under one roof, from architectural design to construction to project management,” said Remar. “I knew if I turned the project over to Hutton, I wouldn’t have to babysit and would have a committed crew to produce the end product we wanted.”

THE DEBRIEFING
Here's the takeaway: “They have a dedicated team. Skilled craftsmen. People who are willing to help find a solution or an answer, rather than throw up their hands and walk away. We weren’t a customer, we were a partner.”
BUILDING THE FUTURE OF SPACE EDUCATION
Hutton Design+Build’s long-standing partnership with the Cosmosphere continues with the newly completed Space Race exhibit. Designed and built by our team, the exhibit tells the dramatic story of the 1960s race to the moon between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, bringing history to life through immersive design, lighting and layout. It’s the latest in a series of engaging, educational exhibits that inspire curiosity and exploration.
MISSION COMPLETE
Remar said Hutton Design+Build brought all disciplines to the table ensuring they got the project they wanted in a timely manner. Quality, professional and skilled individuals who are at the top of their craft. “We knew that these were going to be high use, high traffic areas,” said Remar. “Hutton Design+Build worked to ensure good traffic flow and adequate space, things the Cosmosphere has come to know and expect.”
