King Hussein Science Garden
King Hussein Foundation The Jubilee
Institute The Center for Excellence in Education

• By a generous donation from his excellency
• Sheik Khaled Ben Ali Altorky

2
Project Goals

• To establish the first national science garden
  in Jordan that attracts students and the general
  public, provoking and stimulating their interests
  in learning science and technology the most
  important fields of knowledge in contemporary
  life, and most needed for our countrys progress
  and advancement in the 21st century.

3
Project Goals, Cont.

• To provide local schools with opportunities for
  extracurricular activities in science and
  mathematics programs, enriching the imagination,
  vision, and knowledge of teachers and students,
  in a stimulating and exciting natural atmosphere.

4
Project Goals, Cont.

• Highlighting and enhancing the spirit of
  innovation at the national level of expertise and
  local industry. Therefore the Garden layout and
  architecture, and every piece of equipment
  and/or apparatus of the exhibits are to be
  completely designed and manufactured by Jordanian
  engineers, scientists and technicians from local
  institutions and companies.

5
Project Goal / Feasibility

• Consequently sticking to allocated budget and
  reducing the cost of this national project by
  many orders of magnitude compared with similar
  projects executed in other Arab countries by
  foreign expertise.

Conclusion
This national project is realizable with minimum
cost, and optimal level of educational and
scientific aspects and objectives achieved.

General Layout Plan
7
Guidelines Design Aspects

• The overall design and selection of the
  Garden layout and exhibits were manipulated and
  decided by considering the following five
  aspects and guidelines

8
1- Preserving natural landscape

• the layout plan were made according to the
  natural landscape of the Garden area, with NO
  elimination of existing trees allowed. Also
  keeping the needed tiled areas to a minimum and
  maximizing natural green areas for more trees
  to be planted.

9
2- Limited Water Resources

• Optimization of the designs of water pools
  and channels so as to limit the use of water and
  reduce waste and evaporation. Also natural
  oxidation and recycling processes are introduced.
  Even though water has an apparent presence in
  the Garden, where water pools are distributed
  among the major sections of the Garden.

10
3- Diversity of the Exhibits

• The exhibits and galleries in the Garden
  were selected to cover a wide range of the
  science phenomena, math technological
  applications. Distributed into different zones
  named using common sense and directly according
  to the phenomena being demonstrated by the
  exhibits.
• With concentration on the outdoor activities
  to exploit the natural atmosphere intended in
  this learning process.

11
4- Simple Informative

• The exhibits and galleries in the Garden
  were chosen to be of clear and simple design,
  easy to comprehend and operate by the
  visitor. Black boxes were eliminated (as
  possible) from the exhibits designs. Each exhibit
  is to be accompanied with a plateau explaining
  the scientific phenomena and instructing the
  user for the operation of the exhibit
  using down to earth simple language, in both
  Arabic and English.

12
5- Limitation of Budget

• Considering the guidelines and design
  aspects above also contributed much in reducing
  the costs of the Garden infrastructure, civil
  works and exhibits used. Therefore the project
  cost will hopefully be kept within the allocated
  budget.
