New science centre for Calgary
A new CAN$160m (£95m, US$155m, 107m euro) is to open in Calgary, Alberta, Canada next year.
Work began on the TELUS World of Science in July last year and the project is being funded by the City of Calgary, the Government of Alberta, the Government of Canada and various community donations.
The attraction will feature a large open atrium, a Learning & Leadership Centre, four themed galleries (Energy & Innovation; Earth, Space & Our Environment, Human Body, and Technology, Style & Art), a Creative Kids Museum, a travelling exhibition gallery, a dome theatre and an observatory.
The 153,000sq ft science centre was designed by lead architects Cohos Evamy. Exhibit and program development is being led by an in-house team of science centre professionals.
Kasian Architecture Interior Design & Planning is the lead firm designing the dome theatre as well as the interior spaces. Landscape architecture is being led by O2 Planning + Design and CANA is leading the construction of the new facility.
The centre is expected to open in autumn next year.
