Located in Shenzhen’s Guangming District, the new Shenzhen Science and Technology Museum was officially opened to the public on May 1, 2025. This brand-new institution will focus on scientific discovery, cutting-edge research, and the development potential of future technologies, demonstrating the power of science and shaping future scientific and technological progress.
The new Shenzhen Science and Technology Museum includes 35,000 square meters of permanent and temporary exhibition halls, 6,000 square meters of immersive theater and theatre space, and 5,400 square meters of scientific research laboratories, educational facilities, and innovation centers. There are also 34,000 square meters of tourist service facilities, storage space, and production and maintenance workshops.
During the design process, the team incorporated passive environmental protection strategies. It used advanced computer simulations to test and optimize the building shape, area, and envelope to adapt to year-round solar radiation, temperature, humidity, wind direction, air quality, and other variables.
Terraces on each floor, designed to protect the atrium's glazed facade from direct sunlight to enhance visitor comfort, enhance environmental performance and create a series of sheltered outdoor spaces overlooking the park.
The building uses a double-layer ventilation enclosure system made of stainless steel plates to create a ventilation gap between the outer wall and the curtain wall to reduce direct exposure to the outside environment and solar radiation.
This is the first time that two-color INCO oxidation technology has been applied to the construction of curtain walls on a large scale in China. By accurately controlling the electrolyte formula and oxidation time, a nano-oxide film on the stainless steel surface not only enhances its weather resistance and anti-corrosion properties, but also extends the life of the curtain wall. At the same time, a self-protective and self-cleaning micro-coating has been created, giving it a unique texture and color that does not require painting. The project aims to obtain the highest three-star certification in China's green building assessment standards.
