More than a feat of engineering splendour
The Glasgow Science Centre has changed the landscape of Glasgow irrevocably. The Bilbao-inspired bulbous structures of the IMAX cinema and Science Mall glisten like diamond domes, while the Glasgow Tower transcends the skyline — a beacon of Glasgow's innovative engineering prowess. These are the striking images which sum up the centre, yet for anyone who has not visited the IMAX, what lurks inside is a mystery.
That is, until now. What was once solely a feat of engineering splendour will become a utilitarian mine of scientific exploration; charting the progress of man through a series of interactive exhibits.
The Science Mall is aimed predominantly at children aged 5—12, but holds enough ingenious exhibits to amaze and inspire all ages. Inside it is split into four levels, each with its own specific theme where the emphasis is placed on interaction and making science interesting. The ground level is free to everyone and holds a temporary exhibition of traditional science centre wares; there’s a copy-cat cycling skeleton, a laser beam harp and intriguing Pepper‘s Ghost mirror.
Moving up one level, ‘exploration and discovery’ looks at how we experience the world using practical tests of human abilities alongside activities illustrating abstract concepts of flight and gravity. “Science in action‘ on level two explores solutions to problems such as communication, while level three looks at the impact science has on everyday life in areas such as the environment and medicine.
Only in the Glasgow Tower does science locate itself within the city. In the base of the tower a series of films delineate Glasgow’s development. Then comes the fun bit: two glass lifts majestically ascend over 100 metres to the cabin, affording astounding views of the city which, on a clear day, span almost 40 miles from Tinto hills to Ben Lomond. Much has been made of the tower’s 360° rotational capability which should make the experience all the more stimulating.
The centre’s ambition to educate doesn’t stop at getting a few hundred thousand people through its doors. With a space initiative involving local schoolchildren, touring exhibitions and a business development programme, the centre looks set to change far more than the mere physical landscape.
