Operated by Dexter and Southfield Schools, the Clay Center for Science and Technology is a state-of-the-art astronomical observatory and learning center. In addition to the observatory's seven research-grade telescopes, this five story building contains sophisticated computer and science laboratories, a multi-media lecture hall, classrooms, dining, and meeting spaces, and a solar energy roof deck. We invite you to use this site to learn more about the Clay Center and its programs.  You may join the Friends of the Clay Center to receive special news and invitations to events. 

The Clay Center was named in recognition of the generous support of Lavinia and Landon Clay.
