Center in the Square administrative offices are located on the second floor at Center on Church, 20 Church Avenue,SE, Roanoke VA 24011.
Center in the Square is undergoing major capital renovations. The building will be closed to the public during this period and is scheduled to reopen early with some of the most exciting new features and programs to be found in the region. Center in the Square’s renovation and renewal project will transform over 200,000 square feet of space on the historic market square into new memories and new experiences. Visitors will walk with butterflies in a new indoor habitat; children will gaze at colorful fish, jellyfish, and seahorses in live coral aquariums; students will interact with the latest electronics; and families will experience demonstrations of solar, wind, and green roof technologies that support the future sustainability of our planet.
The History Museum or Western Virginian, Science Museum of Western Virginia, and Mill Mountain Theatre are also reinventing themselves with major capital improvements to their assigned spaces. We will be joined by the Harrison Museum of African American Culture, the newest addition to our museum tenants.
Our museums have not closed - they have moved to temporary locations and are open to the public. Please see the listing below for location and contact information.
