Pacific Quay is an area south of the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland. It is located at the the former Pacific Quay and Princes' Dock Basin. The Princes' Dock Basin was the largest on the River Clyde when it was opened in 1900. It ceased to be used 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 enigneers and radio station. Today Pacific Quay includes:
- Glasgow Science Centre
- BBC Pacific Quay, BBC Scotland headquarters and studios.
- STV, headquarters and studios for the Scottish ITV network.
- Galaxy Scotland, radio station.
- Buro Happold, consultant engineers.
