FEATURES
The Demonstration Center is a multiple exhibitor pavilion. The industiral and educational theme of the exhibit is the "School of Tomorrow."
The two-story, wedge-shaped pavilion is supported by free standing exterior columns, sculpturally articulated to form colonnades along both sides of the building. The exterior walls are of stone-texture. There are two observation terraces on the second floor.
Industrial exhibits tell the story of major American corporations. Education programs are conducted in the Audio-Visual Demonstration Center and in other sections of the pavilion. "Dialogues in Depth" -- a series of live televised interviews with the great minds and personalities of our time -- originate from the Demonstration Center.
