Glasgow Science Centre
Glasgow Science Centre, Science museum at Pacific Quay, Glasgow, United Kingdom
The Glasgow Science Centre spans across three buildings with metal cladding: a titanium IMAX cinema, stainless steel Science Mall, and aluminum tower along River Clyde.
The center opened in July 2001 on the former Prince's Dock cargo port site, which underwent redevelopment following the 1988 Glasgow Garden Festival.
The Science Mall contains over 250 exhibits across three floors, including a planetarium, science theater, and BodyWorks exhibition about human health.
The facility maintains multiple accessibility features with ramps and elevators, plus a Scottish cuisine café for visitors taking breaks between exhibitions.
The center manages an additional visitor facility at Whitelee Wind Farm, which educates the public about renewable energy generation since 2009.
