(Des Moines, IA) -- The Science Center of Iowa in Des Moines is closing its IMAX theater.

After flooding in 2018, water leaked into the building damaging the projector, screen, roof, and collection of IMAX films.

The President of the Science Center, Curt Simmons, says the cost to fix all the damage isn’t worth it and they’re moving forward to reach an insurance resolution.

The Science Center has plans to repurpose the area.
