Oh Wow! did it again. Crowe’s Cabinets has made a number of installations and custom cabinetry for Oh Wow!, the downtown Youngstown science and technology educational establishment. As part of their recent renovation, we had a great time working on this new and unique reception desk.
The reopening follows a $600,000 renovation that includes new exhibits and a reorientation of its main entrance to Market Street from West Federal Street that will improve safety for visitors as they enter the museum and provide better visibility. …
Features added to the main floor are a microelectronics area that will occupy what was previously the welcome desk, a sensory sensitive room and “House of Shine,” an exhibit focusing on mental health. …
Despite the renovation, nearly all of Oh Wow’s familiar exhibits remain, including the Engineering Zone, Amazing Airwaves, the hurricane chamber, television studio and Canterbury Arch. Only a section of the water table was “retired” temporarily, Barbati said.
