Carl F. Eyring Science Center, Science center at Brigham Young University, United States

The Carl F. Eyring Science Center is an academic building at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, housing laboratories, classrooms, and research spaces for physics, astronomy, geology, and food science. A large planetarium dome sits on top of the structure and can be seen from outside.

The building was designed by architect Fred L. Markham and completed in 1950, making it one of the largest academic structures built in the western United States at that time. It was named after Carl F. Eyring, a physics professor who taught at the university in the early 20th century.

The planetarium inside offers regular shows open to both students and the general public. Visitors can watch how stars, planets, and other celestial objects are projected across the dome overhead.

The lobby of the building is open to the public and can be visited without prior arrangements to see the scientific displays. For planetarium shows, it is worth checking availability in advance since seating is limited.

The building was the first at Brigham Young University to have an elevator. In its early years, dinosaur displays assembled by James A. Jensen were often set up in the lobby, but they became less common after the BYU Earth Science Museum opened.
