Honeywell has been awarded orders to design and supply a building management system, fire alarm, access and security, CCTV, lighting control and public address for the new Glasgow Science Centre
Due to its ability to manage the technical complexities of a wide spread of building systems, Honeywell has been awarded orders totalling well over £500,000 to design, supply and commission a technologically advanced building management system as well as fire alarm, access and security, CCTV (close circuit television), lighting control using Echelon LonWorks , public address and PAVA (Public Address Voice Alarm) systems for the new Glasgow Science Centre.
The orders were placed by James Scott, the Mechanical and Electrical (M and E) contractor for the £71.5 million project, with the main contractor Carillion Building, M and E consultants Cundall Johnston and Partners (CJP) and architects Building Design Partnership (BDP).
The Science Centre is located at Pacific Quay, the site of the 1988 Garden Festival.
The complex will include a 100-metre Millennium Tower, a futuristic IMAX 3-D Cinema, an Exploratorium and Planetarium.
Visitors will be able to find out about scientific subjects through interactive displays and exhibitions.
"Honeywell won the business because it offered the best solution of those who tendered," said Eddy Traynor, Project Manager for James Scott.
"Honeywell can provide all the system requirements and has the ability to manage the sophisticated monitoring and control systems." By selecting a single vendor, James Scott and its client, The Glasgow Science Centre, will also benefit from having a single point of contact at all stages of the project, from planning and installation through to training and maintenance.
The Glasgow Science Centre expects about 600,000 visitors each year, from home and abroad.
Equipped with state of the art computer and communications technologies, the Science Centre will act as the hi-tech hub of a network of regional science centres in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee and Inverness.
It will provide educational, business and recreational facilities to many thousands of people throughout Scotland as well as link up with Science Centres throughout the world for groundbreaking joint ventures.
It is envisioned that when the Science Centre fully opens to the public in Spring 2001, it will be a major catalyst for new development and employment in the city, fostering renewed interest in science and technology throughout Scotland.
