It will restore a major artery between the West and East coasts of Scotland and the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow for the first time in over 35 years and is one of the most significant tourism developments in Scotland for some time. Theatre - already open to the public. When fully open in spring 2001 it will be the biggest new attraction in Scotland. Located on the River Clyde at Pacific Quay in Govan, the centre has both educational and economic development aspects. Its three unique buildings will house a massive variety of exhibits on science and technology and their relationship to society.
Theatre is a first for Glasgow and for Scotland.
The 100 metre tall 'Wing Tower', which will actually rotate in the wind, will look out over the River Clyde and the roof tops of Glasgow and visitors will be able to travel right to the top of this wing shaped building in a glass fronted lift. The third building in the complex is the huge titanium clad Science Hall, which will have something for everyone with three levels of constantly changing features and exhibits. Together the complex is an unforgettable sight and firmly re-establishes the city's bond with its famous river. The Clyde and its role in the development of the city is told in Clydebuilt - the Scottish Maritime Museum's exhibition site at Braehead. Clydebuilt is a combination of exciting interactive exhibitions, stage sets and floating models set in a 300 gallon water display.
