Binghamton is a city in, and the county seat of, Broome County, New York, United States.[6] It lies in the state's Southern Tier region near the Pennsylvania border, in a bowl-shaped valley at the confluence of the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers. IBM was founded nearby, and the flight simulator was invented in the city, leading to a notable concentration of electronics- and defense-oriented firms. TechWorks is located in the vintage Binghamton Ice Cream Company factory, built in 1912, expanded in 1946 and 1972, on the waterfront in downtown Binghamton, at 321 Water Street, Binghamton and just north of two historic railroad trestles. TechWorks! parking lots are on both sides of Water Street between the two overhead railroad trestles. |
Description | The Center for Technology & Innovation is a museum dedicated to local industry. The mission of the Center for Technology & Innovation is to document and present in context the inventions and industrial innovations of New York's Southern Tier. Development of TechWorks! is a Center initiative to showcase regional technology in action - an effort that begins from the inside out. The 30,000 sf vintage brick ice cream factory will be renovated with new additions of the South Entrance Energy Exhibit demonstrating emerging technologies, a rooftop Riverview Terrace, and the Garden of Ideas, a sculpture park in the forecourt. Significant progress is being made collecting and revitalizating iconic devices in the Vintage IBM Computing Center, the Hall of Ones and Zeroes, and the Link Simulation Workshop, including the Apollo simulator, on long-term restoration loan from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. |
