SEC Armadillo

Common card · No. 466754

The SEC Armadillo, originally known as the Clyde Auditorium, is a concert and conference venue located on the banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland. It forms part of the Scottish Event Campus (SEC), alongside the SEC Centre and the OVO Hydro. Designed by the architectural practice Foster + Partners, the building opened in September 1997 as an expansion of the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC). The building was developed to provide a purpose-built auditorium capable of accommodating large conferences and performances, complementing the exhibition facilities already available at the SECC. Its distinctive exterior, formed by a series of overlapping curved structures, led to its popular nickname, which subsequently became its recognised name.
