Attracting over 420,00 participants each year Glasgow Science Centre is one of Scotland’s most popular paid-for visitor attractions. The Centre is a great family attraction that presents science and technology in unique and inspiring ways. It has lots of activities to keep visitors of all ages entertained for hours.

There are two acres of interactive exhibits, workshops, science shows, activities, a planetarium, Glasgow Tower and an IMAX cinema. In addition, the attraction hosts high profile corporate events and operates Whitelee Wind Farm. Glasgow Science Centre made a decision to work within their current supply chain to procure a hand dryer robust enough to operate within high footfall areas and remain eco-efficient.

“As an Autism Friendly venue, it’s a priority to keep the noise levels in the washrooms to a minimum.”

As a Visitor attraction, the centre is committed to accessibility and with their new Autism Friendly Hours, it was a priority to keep the noise levels within the washrooms to a minimum. The centre chose the Quiet Mark accredited V Fusion, with it’s patented acoustic dampening system (ADS).

This dryer gives the user comfortable, effective hand drying coupled with an acceptable noise level, allowing visitors to feel more comfortable and at ease using the hand dryers.
