From the Wikipedia article
Aberdeen Science Centre (formerly Satrosphere) is a science museum in Aberdeen, Scotland. It presents interactive science exhibits, shows, and workshops aimed at a broad audience, including school groups. The centre places an emphasis on hands-on engagement and informal science education. The centre is a registered charity under Scottish law. It is funded through public support and donations from local corporate sponsors, and also includes a café. The centre is located on Constitution Street. The building housing the attraction was formerly a depot for Aberdeen's tram network and had previously been based on Justice Mill Lane. From 2018 to 2020, the centre operated temporarily from 107 George Street while its Constitution Street premises underwent a multimillion-pound renovation, which was completed in summer 2020.
