The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science began as a junior museum of Miami in 1949. Since its inception, the museum has undergone many different renovations to accommodate for their numerous expansions. With help from the Grimshaw Architect firm, The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum was designed to bring together an aquarium, planetarium, and science museum all in a single complex in downtown Miami, Florida’s Museum Park. The complex is comprised of four different buildings, each specifically and dynamically designed to take advantage of wind, rain, and sunlight to produce or mitigate the energy needs of the complex. The prevailing winds from the south west are used to cool the building, with use of wind foils and open atriums. Fitted on the roof of the complex are solar panels that are used to fill a portion of the energy demands of the facility.  Due to these sustainable and efficient design features the Museum was awarded LEED-certification, and opened with critical acclaim in May 2017.
