The Science and Technology Centre, on Minerva Road, was formerly known as the "Technology Innovation Centre" (TIC). According to its website (http://www.help4me.info/service.aspx?serviceid=%7B88c312b5-19fd-49d4-a059-9853b3c51839%7D ), "Bolton Technical Innovation Centre is the UK's first 'junior incubator' - a purpose-built academy for young inventors and future entrepreneurs." Unfortunately, cutbacks initiated by the coalition Government's spending review mean that the teaching and learning aspect of the centre is being axed. However, the centre will continue to offer conferencing facilities, at least for the short term future.

The building lies across the OS grid line; the front of the building and its east side lie in SD7206, whilst the back and west side are in SD7106 (Image])
