Liberty science center's scitech scity will be a "business optimizer", a new breed of innovation center that maximizes commercial success and social impact of science and technology startups. The word scity (pronounced "city"), from science + city, is lsc's portmanteau for a city infused with scientific creativity and actionable optimism about building a better future for all of us. Envisaged as a small-scale "city of tomorrow", scitech scity aspires to be an internationally recognized community where businesses test - and residents and visitors experience - new products and services before they come to market. The 30-acre innovation campus will consist of: liberty science center, the most visited cultural institution in new jersey and the largest immersive science learning center in the nj-nyc metropolitan area, edge works, the economic and creative hub for scitech scity consisting of 120,000 square feet of multi-function workspace for technology startups, entrepreneurs and skunk works projects of established companies, and a state-of-the-art conference center and tech exhibition space; liberty science high school, a public high school for science-interested students in hudson county, new jersey, scholars village, residential housing for entrepreneurs, teachers, students, and tech-savvy families, and a public commons and plaza, consisting of a large outdoor area and common area space for socializing and enjoyment that will be open to the public.
