Pyongyang Sci-Tech Complex, Science center at Ssuk Island, Pyongyang, North Korea

The Pyongyang Sci-Tech Complex is a science and technology centre on Ssuk Island in the Taedong River, reached by the Chungsong Bridge. Its floor plan follows the shape of an atom, and the central hall rises through three storeys around a model rocket. The complex covers 106,600 m², with an e-library of about 3,000 computer terminals.

Construction of the atom-shaped complex on Ssuk Island was carried out largely by members of the Korean People's Army. Kim Jong-un visited the finished buildings on 28 October 2015, and the official opening followed on 1 January 2016. A dam several kilometres long was built to protect the site from flooding.

The central hall rises through three floors and holds a rocket model; nearby are rooms for distance learning, conferences, symposia and exhibitions. Children have their own hands-on area, the Dream Hall, and a museum traces the development history of science and technology in the country.

The complex stands on Ssuk Island in the Taedong River, reached by the Chungsong Bridge, which gained a three-lane approach road for it; a new trolleybus line also runs here. A separate building on the grounds can accommodate up to 500 guests overnight. Visits must be arranged in advance.

The site holds 3,700 solar modules, one of the largest solar installations in the country, used mainly for the complex's own power supply. A dam several kilometres long was built to protect the grounds from flooding. Most of the construction work was carried out by members of the Korean People's Army.
