"The completion of the new College of San Mateo Science Building and Planetarium, together with the $1.5 million Chronos Start Projector by McCarthy Builders has reinvigorated the entire county. CSM's new state of the art planetarium and observatory has become a Mecca for start gazers across the SF Bay Area; from Elementary to University student as well as to local community astronomers. Moreover, McCarthy's attention to detail, spirit of collaboration, and plain old simple team work made a dream come true for the residents of San Mateo County."
