Stephen Breslin is the chief executive of Glasgow Science Centre, which this year celebrates its 21st anniversary, with the visitor attraction holding a party later this month to mark the occasion.

The building, located at Pacific Quay in Scotland’s largest city and a major player in its regeneration, was originally designed to “reflect the scale and drama” of the large ships that had been moored along the quayside of the River Clyde when it was a major industrial waterway.

Since opening it has welcomed 6.5 million visitors, while the pandemic saw it power up its online offering, with 30,000 pupils and 1,000 teachers having since September 2020 taken part in Learning Lab, its remote science, technology, engineering and maths learning programme, for example.
