Kelvin Hall, Glasgow

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.
