Construction News Image
A £1.1 million refurbishment has been completed on Bishopbriggs War Memorial Hall.

The hall, located on the Balmuildy Road, was officially reopened by Provost Alan Brown on Wednesday, 19 September.

First built in 1961, the building now includes an improved entrance lobby, updated function spaces, a refurbished cloakroom and toilets and a new kitchen.

Provost Brown said: "The results of the refurbishment are tremendous. From the outside the building looks great and the impressive interior is almost unrecognisable from how it was before. This is thanks to all the planning and hard work that has been put in by teams from across the Council and our delivery partners.

"It is particularly fitting that this refurbishment has been completed in time for the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, when our thoughts turn to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. It was in their memory that the building was originally constructed.

"I am delighted to see this newly refurbished building now open for business and the community already benefitting from it."

The refurbishment, along with the remodeling of the Bishopbriggs Community Hub, which was officially re-opened in May this year, represent an investment of £3.1 million by the Council into the Bishopbriggs community.
