Contractor CCG is due to begin building the Bearsden Community Hub on 04 April.
The project is being developed by hub West Scotland in partnership with the local authority.
The new facility is based on a reconfiguration of the Burgh Hall site on Drymen Road.
It will include a re-provisioning of the library and community archives from Brookwood as well as enhancing the current hall facilities through a full refurbishment.
