Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land
Houston, TX
The Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land is an adaptive reuse of the former Central State Farm Building, a 1940s prison dormitory that once served the Texas State Prison System. Located within Sugar Land’s Cultural and Entertainment District, the project preserves an important landmark while introducing a full-scale science museum to the community.
The building’s original character was retained while the interior was transformed into an open, light-filled environment for exploration. A new entry pavilion establishes a clear arrival sequence and central atrium, anchored by a sculptural stair and elevator connecting all levels.
Exhibit spaces include living displays, interactive stations, children’s galleries, and permanent fossil and mineral collections. Converting the compartmentalized structure into a walkable museum required removing masonry walls, replacing the slab, and mitigating hazardous materials. Each gallery was carefully planned to support structural loading and circulation.
