In the center of the Science Pavilion complex, designed by Minoru Yamasaki, is a courtyard of fountains and pools bridged by platforms. Rising over the courtyard, these arches combine both gothic and modern architectural elements, creating a distinctive landmark. The Science Pavilion exists today as the Pacific Science Center.
