NMU Science Centre
Type: Education
Completion: On Site
Size: 3 000 m²
Client: Nelson Mandela University
The project entails the construction of a 150-seater digital planetarium dome, exhibition areas, lecture theatre, and auxiliary spaces. The building is located along University Way which forms part of a major movement artery into Campus and is set back to create a formal plaza / gathering space.
The eastern facade is landscaped three-dimensionally allowing for unique engagement with users both internally and externally thereby creating a ‘living edge’ toward the plaza. Internally the building creates multi-layered spaces around the auditorium dome, allowing for flexibility of use as well as movement hierarchy.
Once complete, the dome would comprise a fully digital 4K installation and offer a one-of-a-kind 3D planetarium experience within the Eastern Cape area.
