Sheridan College Museum of Discovery
The Leslie F. Mohns Center is the home of the Sheridan College Museum of Discovery, located south of the Whitney Center and north of the Science Center. Each year, the College hosts the Science Museum Lecture Series in the Center.
Recent remodeling and improvements have enhanced the building’s features, including a larger archeology lab, as well as enlarged areas for stone, gem, and jewelry displays. “Paul” the triceratops is in the center of the building entrance so he can greet all visitors. Additionally, several display cases are near the classrooms so students and visitors can view dinosaur bones from the Sheridan College quarry near Buffalo and learn more about the Jurassic dinosaur period.
