PROJECT News An 'Out of this World' experience
Visitors to the city’s Science Centre are able to explore the entire cosmos from the com- fort of its newly refurbished Planetarium, thanks to the work and ingenuity of Signs Ex- press (Glasgow). The Planetarium has been totally trans-
formed to a state-of-the-art full-dome digital planetarium as part of an ongoing series of improvements to the Science Centre,. As part of this project, Signs Express (Glasgow) has had the challenging task of organising and installing the department’s expansive array of new displays and signage.
The installation of the new
digital system here at Glasgow Science Centre will help us to ignite curiosity and exceed the expectations of modern learners with inspirational, real-time content and
state-of-the-art technology. A state of the art digital exhibition. There were numerous elements to the
work carried out by Signs Express (Glas- gow). This included five floor-to-ceiling ban- ners each measuring 4.7m x 2m; printed wall graphics; hoardings; and a double-sided suspended lightbox. The largest part of the project was the creation of a 28 metre long, three metre high illuminated installation formed from two lightboxes measuring 12m x 3m and 16m x 3m respectively.
The project took many months of plan-
ning and execution. The team at Signs Ex- press (Glasgow) has worked tirelessly since June 2015 to design and create a functional solution to the Science Centre’s needs. Their efforts have been rewarded with a 'stunning exhibition that will benefit everyone that walks through the doors'. Michael Kane, Signs Express (Glas-
gow’s) Project Manager, said: “We really enjoy working with the Science Centre be- cause they push us by providing original and innovative designs. We always go the extra mile to make sure that we meet, if not ex- ceed their expectations. I am extremely proud of myself and all of my colleagues who have been involved in this project because we have utilised all of our extensive skills to complete it to the highest standard.” Signs Express (Glasgow) was the
favoured signage company for this project because of their previous work at the Glas- gow Tower, also owned by the Glasgow Sci- ence Centre, which was opened last year. It the tallest free-standing building in Scotland and the tallest fully rotating free-standing building in the world. John Brown, Astronomer Royal for
Signs Express (Glasgow) have worked for many months to achieve the stunning work that has transformed the planetarium.
Scotland, said: “The installation of the new digital system here at Glasgow Science Centre will help us to ignite curiosity and exceed the expectations of modern learners with inspirational, real-time content and state-of-the-art technology. It will be a fan- tastic resource for the people of Glasgow and beyond.”
