INFRASTRUCTURE

One of a kind

The new Science Centre, with
the opening planned for early
2023, was also designed by SVA
International. Danev explains: “It
comprises a digital planetarium
installation with 150 seats, where
six 4K (high resolution or sharp
image) projectors display images
on the dome screen, 15m in
diameter, creating an immersive
experience. Sky-Skan, a Germany-
based company specialising in
planetarium installations, has been
contracted for this.”
The area includes an exhibition
space and teaching engagement
laboratory accommodating up to 100
students and learners. It’s intended
as a multi-use building for the
University, schools, the community
and society at large.
The one-of-a-kind Science Centre
will be a flagship facility for the
University.
