The Bishopbriggs War Memorial Hall upgrade scheme got underway on Monday, 13 February.
Features include a full refurbishment to the main and lesser hall, a new kitchen, fully refurbished toilets throughout and general repairs and upgrades to the outside of the building.
Once the project is completed at the end of April, work will start on a £2m Hub scheme at Bishopbriggs Library. The community facility will bring together Council, library, leisure and cultural services in a single building, as well as including a multi-purpose room for children's activities and reading groups, a computer learning suite, private rooms for confidential business and an enhanced heritage space which will incorporate the Thomas Muir Museum.

The combined £3m investment will see the completed War Memorial Hall and new Library and Community Hub building available to the local community in winter 2017.
Depute Council Leader Billy Hendry said: "The work at the War Memorial Hall and the development of a Community Hub at Bishopbriggs Library is great news for Bishopbriggs and will see major investment in the town centre.
"Once completed, they will provide everyone in Bishopbriggs with state-of-the-art facilities they will be proud of.
"By phasing the works on these two key facilities, we will ensure that library and Hub services are continually delivered to the people of Bishopbriggs throughout these exciting developments."
