Science Centre Singapore to undergo US$23m overhaul
Singapore, August 15, 2012
 

THE SCIENCE Centre Singapore is slated to undergo a S$29 million (US$23.2 million) makeover, according to The Straits Times.

 

First opened in December 1977, the Science Centre is planning to embark on a five-year upgrading programme that will see the addition of a digital planetarium, a virtual aquarium, a city gallery, a children science centre, and a space academy.

 

Science Centre CEO, Lim Tit Meng, was quoted by The Straits Times as saying that the addition of new attractions was essential for the facility to stay relevant.

 

The last time the Science Centre underwent a major facelift was in 1999, when S$38 million was splashed out on expanding its exhibition space, creating a new entrance, and building a direct connection to the separate Singapore Omni-Theatre building.
