Intech to open planetarium
The Intech science centre in Winchester will add a planetarium to its range of attractions next year.
Due to open in March, the new facility comprises a six-projector system and a domed screen measuring 17m in diameter, one of the largest in the UK.
The planetarium has been designed and will be installed by UK-based Global Immersion, previously part of SEOS, the international visual display company.Funding for the planetarium came from the south East Economic Development Agency (SEEDA).
Intech director, Phil Winfield, said: “It was always envisaged to have a planetarium at INTECH since its move to Morn Hill in 2002.
“The dome was built then but only now, with the generous support of SEEDA, has this important development become possible. We are really excited about this project.”
Intech science centre is operated by the Hampshire Technology Centre Trust, an educational charity, and the attraction currently houses more than 90 exhibits.
