An outdoor hall in Scotstoun is to be demolished due to the “poor condition” of the building and presence of RAAC.
Scotstoun Outdoor Hall, which was used by the Glasgow Warriors rugby team, has been closed for a number of years after the crumbling reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete was found
Labour Councillor Imran Alam, Labour, asked for a timeline for when the hall would be reopened.
Glasgow Life – which runs leisure facilities on behalf of the council and manages the property in question – said: “Given the extent of the RAAC issues and the generally poor condition of the building, and following guidance received from external structural engineers, it has been agreed that the most appropriate course of action is to demolish the hall.”
It added: “The plan is for the site to be fully cleared to slab level, with existing utility connections capped locally, which will enable any potential future structures—such as a tented pavilion or welfare —to be erected. This will ensure continued support for activities including, for example, hospitality services during Glasgow Warriors matches, and the facilitation of event overlay during the upcoming Commonwealth Games.”
Glasgow Life provided an answer to be presented at this week’s upcoming operational performance and delivery scrutiny committee.
In response to Councillor Alam’s query it said since the closure, Glasgow Warriors and Glasgow Life programmes previously run at the hall have been relocated elsewhere within the Scotstoun sports campus.
Glasgow Life said the Scotstoun Outdoor Hall was primarily used by Glasgow Warriors who play at Scotstoun Stadium.
Demolition was expected to start by April and would last about six to eight weeks.
