	The centre entered its first title sponsorship agreement with [[Alcan\|Alcan Inc.]] in 1996, renaming its OMNIMAX Theatre the ''Alcan OMNIMAX'' Theatre. Alcan has since decided to sponsor the organization in different ways and the theatre has returned to its original name, the OMNIMAX Theatre. In January 2005, the building was officially renamed "Telusphere" as part of an agreement where Telus gave a $9-million donation in return for the "naming rights" of the building. This new name proved universally unpopular. In the summer of 2005, TELUS and Science World officially changed the name of the building to the ''TELUS World of Science''. This maintained consistency with other "TELUS World of Science" centres in Calgary and Edmonton that were named in the meantime. This name change has not affected the nearby [[Main Street-Science World Station\|Skytrain station]] and the general public still refers to it as Science World.
