The facility has four studio spaces suitable for eight people at a time, and aims to provide 12,000 young people per year, aged 8 to 18, with a free learning experience that will link to the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence and help students build life skills. It also has an immersion room, which will tell the story of Sky, and a welcome room, which provides a seating area for the students to eat lunch within the realms of the Sky experience.

Students will be able to create their own TV report about a subject they are studying at school using Sky’s state-of-the-art technology, including broadcast quality cameras, green screens and touch screen edit tables. It will also build on the success of the first Sky Academy Skills Studios at Sky’s headquarters in West London, where 18,000 students have taken part in the experience since its launch in 2012.
