Designed by Sports Concepts, the Mega-building will be located in Glasgow and expected to open during the Commonwealth Games in 2014 with cost $250 million. The design of the 430,000-square-foot sport center is chosen from an European Ideas Competition.
“We developed our concepts based on a mega-building where we connected both indoor arenas with an office building,†says Michael Lischer, principal architect of Sports Concepts. This glass-and-metal clad structure will share circulation space, a cafeteria, dressing rooms, and offices for the National Sport Federations. Connecting the three facilities under one roof simplifies building operations and significantly cuts the construction costs, Lischer says.
