SEC Central : Holmes Miller partner with Scottish Event Campus to create a new destination

Holmes Miller has continued our partnership with the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) through new regenerative expansion proposals.
 
As part of the campus-wide NetZero strategy, our design for the East End of the SEC Centre seeks to capture opportunities to modernise and enhance the current offer both in a commercial and public sense. A new entrance Atrium will form a focal point of the campus, containing flexible conferencing facilities, and food/beverage concepts, fully integrated with a lifestyle SEC hotel accessible to Campus patrons and public alike.
 
Ian Cooney, Project Director at Holmes Miler said: “As the proposal images illustrate, a curvilinear Architectural form will chime with the neighbouring Armadillo and Hydro venues, revitalising the face of the SEC as an international destination - its proposed they will sit within new public realm for the district. The hotel will provide a visual marker for venue on the city’s rising skyline and represent a new chapter in the storied history of Glasgow’s much-loved SEC.”
 
Peter Duthie, SEC Chairman said: "Effectively we are looking at building a new conference centre with an £80million expansion at the east end of the campus. We are competing in a global market. Upgrading our facilities would allow us to stage two conferences of scale at the same time and attract some of these bigger blockbuster events.”
