In 2004, Cade Museum Foundation was established by Dr. Cade and his family.[4] The foundation planned to design and build a museum in Gainesville.[4] The museum was funded by a culmination of 13 years of fundraising by the Cade Museum Foundation, which raised $9.2 million. [5] The building was designed by GWWO Architects in Baltimore.[6] Construction took place from April 2016 to November 2017 by Oelrich Construction.[6] In May 2018, the museum was officially opened.[6][5] The opening of the museum took place in the setting of a revitalization process in downtown Gainesville.[5]
There were 55,000 visitors to the museum the first year of opening.[7]
The museum is located at a corner in Depot Park.[3] It is 26,000 square feet.[3][5]
The interior of the museum has windows to allow for light.[5] The building’s design is in the spiral shape of a nautilus shell that reflects math concepts like the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio.[5][8]
There are exhibits on inventions and technology that came from the University of Florida.[3] The museum has one wing dedicated to Dr. Cade, which has his lab from the University of Florida and information about the development of Gatorade.[8] Water-cooled football shoulder pads are also displayed.[8]
The museum has a Gutenburg printing press more than 160 years old.[5] Creativity and fabrication labs are also part of the museum.[3]
On the second floor, there are plaques of inventors such as Nikola Tesla and the inventor of the zipper.[5]
Activities
The museum caters to people of all ages.[5] It also offers summer camps.[8]
STEAM (Science, technology, engineering, arts, math) workshops are available where attendants can meet living inventors.[3] An inventor from any of fields such as business, science, and medicine comes to the museum every Saturday.[5][8] The STEAM program is half-funded by a four-year, matching federal grant.[9]
