The Queen visits the City Observatory

On July 3rd 2015 the team were delighted to welcome Her Majesty the Queen to the City Observatory as part of her formal visit to open Strathclyde’s new TIC building. Our Principal, Professor Sir Jim McDonald, said:

“The formal opening of the Technology & Innovation Centre, by Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, is a defining event for the entire Strathclyde community.

In the spirit of our founding mission as the place of useful learning, work-streams in the Centre are delivering high-impact innovation and shaping technologies to improve human health, transform the energy landscape, set new standards in manufacturing and contribute to the development of future cities.”
