The Fairfield Heritage Centre includes the former boardroom, management offices and directors dining room as well as the main entrance and lobby.
The heritage area, which is free to visit 7 days 1pm to 4pm, tells the story of over 150 years of shipbuilding at the yard using artefacts, graphic panels, interactive media and audio-visual presentations.
Exhibits and information address technical innovation, the period of building ships to contest the Blue Riband for fastest Atlantic crossing, the two world wars, the 1960s Fairfield Experiment in management/labour relations and the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders, Govan Shipbuilders and Kvaerner Govan eras.
