To ask the Scottish Government whether the IMAX Theatre at Glasgow Science Centre is within the scope of the £5.5 million roof repair works currently being undertaken to replace the defective external cladding system at the facility.
The Glasgow Science Centre (GSC) is owned by the GSC Charitable Trust, a wholly owned subsidiary of Scottish Enterprise (SE). The Scottish Government is providing £5.5 million to SE to cover refurbishment work to GSC’s main buildings. A further £800,000 has been allocated to the work from SE’s budget. The work includes replacement of the titanium roof covering, installation of a new building management system and partial renewal of external glazing. The work does not include the IMAX Theatre.
