OVERVIEW
Located on the banks of the River Kelvin in
Glasgow’s west end, Kelvin Hall was one of the
largest exhibition centres in the UK when first
constructed back in 1927. Famously hosting
many major concerts in the 1960’s and 70’s,
this iconic building was converted in 1987 to
house Glasgow’s Museum of Transport and the
Kelvin Hall International Sports Arena until its
closure in 2010.
McLaughlin & Harvey Construction and Page\
Park Architects were appointed to undertake
this extensive and ambitious refurbishment
project which provided a demanding set
of challenges - particularly regarding the
preservation of Kelvin Hall’s internal heritage
features and the original concrete shell in its
entirety.
Ideal for new build and refurbishment projects,
a Kalzip® standing seam liner roof system was
specified for the task. Able to withstand high
wind uplift and with excellent resistance to
climatic conditions, the lightweight Kalzip®
system is extremely durable and has a
minimum design life of over 40 years.
