Top 10 Firms for Science Center / Science Museum Projects
Ranked by recency-weighted eligible project count at science center / science museum venues, 2021–2026.
The 10 highest-scoring firms hold a numbered rank;
24 more firms with eligible
activity are listed below the table.
Counts design-discipline credits only -- exhibit design, interpretive planning, media design, architecture, master planning, landscape architecture, environmental graphics, lighting design -- held in a role the firm offers as a standalone service. Fabrication, AV integration, and consulting credits appear on project pages but don't place a firm on this list. Standard recency weighting and sourcing bonus apply.
Counts reflect the work this index has recorded, not a census of any
firm's total output — coverage depth varies by firm — and a position
here implies no judgment of design quality.
