Millennium Point – new sign as seen from Grosvenor Street
Image by ell brown
Recently a new sign has been put up on the side of Millennium Point. You can see it up close from Grosvenor Street in Eastside.
Quite close to that Ormiston construction site.
Millennium Point of 1997-2001 by Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners, a design-and-build job with executive architects Mason Richards. A steel and glass shed, 165 metres (541ft 4in.) long, set back standoffishly behind a large brick paved space. The west half, Think Tank, the Museum of Science and Industry, is covered by tilting terracotta-panel sunscreens. An unmarked entrance leads into the atrium, the south part low and oddly angled, the north big cantilevered Imax Theatre.
