- Pacific_Quay abstract "Pacific Quay is an area south of the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland. It is located at the former Plantation Quay and Princes' Dock Basin. The Princes' Dock Basin was the largest on the River Clyde when it was opened by the Clyde Navigation Trust in 1900. It ceased to be used as a commercial dock by the Clyde Port Authority in the 1970s as the volume of Shipping using the Upper Clyde declined with the onset of Containerization. The site was later used for the Glasgow Garden Festival in 1988. The former electric generating station and pumping house, "Four Winds" which was used to pump water between the rotundas and generate power for the electric cranes still stands and is now home to a consultant engineers and radio station. The name 'Pacific Quay' has no historical significance, as it was created simply as a marketing enterprise following the the land being reclaimed for commercial use after the Garden Festival closure. It did not reflect the site as a departure point for ships bound for the Pacific rim. Today Pacific Quay includes: Glasgow Science Centre BBC Pacific Quay, BBC Scotland headquarters and studios. STV, headquarters and studios for the Scottish ITV network. Capital Scotland, radio station. Buro Happold, consultant engineers. ChoiceQuote Insurance Services, taxi insurance broker. Digital Design Studio, research and commercial centre of Glasgow School of Art".
