Delta College Downtown Bay City and Planetarium is centrally located at the edge of historic Center Avenue. Best known for it's unique building, the 39,000-square-foot facility was built with funds provided by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Delta College Downtown Bay City is conveniently located within walking distance of Wenonah Park, numerous restaurants, coffee houses, shops and the Alice & Jack Wirt Public Library. The facility has six classrooms and a computer lab where Delta offers many general education classes at times that fit your schedule. Getting there is simple, too. Bay Metro buses stop just a block away, and there's easy parking for commuters.
The building was designed to reflect the primary purpose of the facility – to provide a learning environment that fosters an appreciation of the significance, relevance and application of the sciences. A few of the features include: the exterior colors are red and orange to represent the colors of the sun’s gases, the theater's shape represents a rocket exhaust nozzle and the black exterior of the two wings represent the blackness of space.
