Scottish National Arena
Scottish National Arena
The Scottish National Arena will be Scotland’s largest venue. It will be the only one of its scale in the UK
built specifically to cater for live performances and its inherent qualities will make it ideal for large scale
conferences. Delegates can expect to enjoy an enhanced experience; sightlines to the stage from each of the 12,500
seats will be superb and the acoustics will be of the highest standard.
Fixed seating will wrap around the stage, rising higher to the front to optimise the balance between viewing
angle and distance from the stage. This gives the auditorium its distinctive sloping appearance. With the use of
lighting and drapes, the Arena can be “shrunk”, creating an environment that will be ideal for meetings of up to
5,000 or 8,000 delegates. The Arena will complement the existing buildings on the site. It will be characterized
by a 40 metre-high façade, clad in a translucent material that can be lit at night and carry projections of
patterns, images or logos to change its appearance to suit individual events. The roof of the Arena will be
spectacular, spanning 120 metres in a shallow dome of diagonally latticed steelwork.
