The existing Cahners Theater will be transformed into a new venue called the "Public Science Common." The 10,000-square-foot area overlooking the Charles River is envisioned as a "state-of-the-art convening space that will connect the public to Boston's unparalleled scientific community."

Work will start this year and it is expected to finish in 2026. The museum didn't say how much it will cost, but Bloomberg Philanthropies will be a leading funder.
