Pacific Quay is the headquarters of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scotland, situated just outside Glasgow on the River Clyde, opposite the SECC and next to the Science Centre.
It was designed by architect David Chipperfield, who created a sheer glass façade ensuring that the look of the building changes throughout the day, season and viewpoint. A defining feature is an internal, stepped 'street' that rises throughout the entire length of the design, providing break-out spaces and informal meeting areas.
Officially opened on 20 September 2007 by Gordon Brown - the UK's Prime Minister at the time - the building is a dynamic broadcasting centre and a benchmark in terms of state-of-the-art technology and production methods, across TV, radio and online.
A wide range of output comes from the building, including popular TV news programmes Reporting Scotland, Frontline Scotland and Sportscene.
