Planetarium Theatre System

The Finnish Science Centre Heureka (later “Heureka” or “The Customer”), located in the City of Vantaa, is planning a noteworthy upgrade of its world-class digital visualization system, the immersive Heureka Planetarium. The goal of the project is the renewal of the planetarium in a way that it meets the quality, accessibility and customer expectation demands of today. Through modernization of the planetarium’s inner dome, AV technology and equipment, the visibility and audibility of the image and sound quality will be updated and improved. By re-designing the theatre interior to meet modern accessibility standards the needs of people with reduced mobility, hearing or sight will be met accordingly. The planetarium renewal project has started with planning in 2022 and will be implemented in co-operation with a selected system supplier. The upgrading project includes the renewal of the inner dome structure and the complete AV technology, as well as modernizing the interior of the theater. The construction, installation and renewal schedule will be determined during the procurement procedure, in 2023. The aim is to open the renewed Heureka Planetarium for visitors in 2025.
