Clydebank Community Sport Hub

Struer Consulting Engineers are delighted to have been involved in the Clydebank Community Sport Hub project which was winner of the Architecture Grand Prix award at the recent Scottish Design Awards 2019. The project included partial demolition and extension to an existing gym hall to create the new Community Sport Hub. The project also included redevelopment of pitches, allotments, community garden and landscaping.

The Project won a further award in the Design Grand Prix category for the 4 cast concrete artwork panels. The panels were made up of a grid of individual tiles and these were decorated by children from Whitecrook Primary and Glasgow Gaelic School, based around the theme of sport and or Clydebank itself.

Directors Eddie Gray and Kenny Stevenson (pictured left and right above), were proud winners of charity Hansel’s 25th anniversary golf tournament held at Kilmarnock Barassie in Troon. Teams from around Scotland took part in the competition and Struer Consulting Engineers picked up the top prize.

Eddie Gray also scooped the Best Individual title.

Great News! This prestigious mixed-use development on the Clydeside has gained outline planning permission and the design team including Struer and project Architects Keppie Design are now busy working through design options for the first of the developments.

A mix of high-quality homes, offices, a hotel and retail units will bring much needed regeneration to the Anderson Quay locale.

Struer are utilising their wealth of knowledge gained on similar projects on the Clydeside to appraise the most efficient foundation solutions for the challenging ground conditions while also appraising framing options for the multi storey structures.

Construction is currently programmed to commence at the end of 2018.

Struer are delighted to learn that our clients at the Citizens Theatre have secured vital funding towards the restoration of this much-loved Glasgow landmark.

The design team for the project is led by project managers TX2 and includes Bennetts Associates as the Architects. Struer have been involved in the early design phases and substantial pre-construction planning required for a project of this nature. The project is now out to competitive Tender and we look forward to this challenging project commencing on site.

The project involves a radical re-working of the Citizens Theatre’s buildings and has an estimated cost of £19.4m, which includes a construction cost of £14.5m

The transformation of the front-of-house spaces will create a vibrant, accessible social gathering place that properly supports the breadth of work and the ethos of the Theatre affectionately known as “The Citz”

A new street frontage and foyer spaces will replace the Theatre’s lacklustre entrance building on Gorbals Street. Audiences will enter the auditorium through its iconic stone gable and new accommodation will be provided for studio theatre, rehearsals, learning and events.

Actors’ facilities, backstage areas and construction workshops will be improved through reorganisation and refurbishment, whilst public access will extend further into the building where the public can see the inner workings of the theatre and its heritage; the historic stage machinery, paint frame and construction workshops.

Construction is currently programmed between September 2018 and June 2020.
