A new 12,500-capacity indoor venue for concerts and performances is the latest addition planned for Glasgow’s Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre. The arena includes a state-of-the-art auditorium. The upper part of the building is clad in translucent material, which allows daylight in, makes the front of the building glow at night and enables patterns or images to be projected onto the façade. Foster and Partners are the architects; Arup Scotland are M&E and structural consultants.
