Call for Businesses and Members of the Public to Support our Science Discovery Centre and Planetarium Project

Written by MSAS on .

Construction of our new Science Discovery Centre and Planetarium is now well underway with a target to open its doors to visitors in 12 months’ time. We are indebted to our public and private sector sponsors. Without their support we would not be able to turn our vision into reality. These can be seen under the Science Discovery Centre section of our website in the ‘Our Supporters’ tab.

Please contact Steve at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for a prospectus and to arrange a discussion.
