Magna Science Adventure Centre, Science museum in Rotherham, England
The Magna Science Adventure Centre contains four specialized pavilions dedicated to Earth, Air, Fire, and Water elements, featuring over 100 interactive exhibits.
The center occupies the former Templeborough steelworks site, which was originally the location of a Roman fort established around 50 AD.
The hourly Big Melt display demonstrates the steel-making process through fog, sparks, flames, and sound effects, preserving the industrial legacy of Yorkshire.
The facility includes an outdoor play area named Sci-Tek, a water play section called Aqua-Tek, and provides full wheelchair accessibility throughout the building.
The architectural design of the converted steelworks earned the 2001 RIBA Stirling Prize for its innovative use of industrial space.
