SAN ANTONIO — Keeping cool while dreaming big for kids. That’s the motivation behind Friedrich’s latest major donation to help turn the dream of KidSTREAM Children’s Museum in Ventura County into a reality. Friedrich was the first major manufacturer to donate to the nonprofit museum, whose vision is to create a facility for all children in the community to have opportunities to explore science, technology, reading, engineering, arts, and math (STREAM) in a fun, interactive learning environment.
With designs to transform a large, former 30,000-square-foot library into the new Ventura County children’s museum, KidSTREAM is first creating a 1,200-square-foot “preview room” to host and elicit support from donors, officials, and community members. With no HVAC system, cooling and heating the preview space was an essential part of the first phase of the renovation.
