Glasgow Science Centre

Visitor attraction on Pacific Quay www.glasgowsciencecentre.org/

 

£75m project opened 2001. Architects BDP (Building Design Partnership), Glasgow. (The Tower, not in this picture, was by architect Richard Horden with engineers Buro Happold.)

 

"Three distinct buildings comprise the GSC - the Science Mall, IMAX and the Glasgow Tower. Titanium was selected as the cladding for the external skin of the Science Mall and IMAX Theatre; the first time this extraordinary metal has been used as a cladding material in the UK. With context and sustainability high on the agenda, river cooling was incorporated within the building. These are machines for learning in ... and having fun!"
