路易斯维尔大学将永久关闭劳奇天文馆和根斯科学厅,格里·布拉德利总统于2026年3月12日宣布,以持续的财政损失和无法获得外部资金为由。 The University of Louisville will permanently close the Rauch Planetarium and Gheens Science Hall, President Gerry Bradley announced on March 12, 2026, citing ongoing financial losses and the inability to secure external funding. 该天文馆由于这一大流行病而自2020年以来关闭,尽管在科学教育和社区活动中发挥作用,但每年需要大学补贴。 The planetarium, closed since 2020 due to the pandemic, had required annual university subsidies despite its role in science education and community events. Bradley将决定称为困难决定,但对于该机构的财政可持续性是必要的,设备将重新配置或出售,未来对网站的使用将接受审查。 Bradley called the decision difficult but necessary for the institution’s financial sustainability, with equipment to be repurposed or sold and future use of the site under review.
