◆ Latest milestone

RefurbishmentOct 2009#

House of Innoventions closed and was replaced by VISION House, which opened in its Innoventions East space on Earth Day, April 22, 2012.

Held to year precision: no source documents a final operating day. The Inside the Magic report published on opening day, April 22, 2012, says 'Replacing the gadget-filled House of Innoventions at Epcot is the new Vision House,' and its photo caption places VISION House at Innoventions East; Attractions Magazine gives the same April 22, 2012 debut. SOURCE CONFLICT: Wikipedia's Innoventions exhibit table ends House of Innoventions in October 2009, but three contemporaneous 2012 trade reports describe it as the exhibit then being replaced; the 2012 reporting is preferred as contemporaneous and explicit, and the 2009 date may instead mark the end of the Panja and Whirlpool sponsorship rather than the exhibit.

New1999#

House of Innoventions opened as a walk-through model-home exhibit in the Innoventions East building at Epcot, sponsored by Panja and Whirlpool.

Opening year, sponsors and building come from Wikipedia's Innoventions exhibit table, which carries no inline citation; the same table's closing date for this exhibit is contradicted by 2012 trade coverage, so the year is held at medium confidence.
