Another longstanding Pittsburgh building has changed its name.

The newly named Kamin Science Center will replace the moniker of the Carnegie Science Center, which has been the lone name of the North Shore facility since its opening in October 1991. The name change is the result of a $65 million gift to the Science Center from longtime patrons Daniel and Carole Kamin that was made public on Tuesday.

It is one of several Pittsburgh entertainment venues to change names in the last decade, following such changes at Acrisure Stadium, PPG Paints Arena, and the former KeyBank Pavilion.
