The Scottish Event Campus

Since the opening of the original buildings (previously known as te SECC) in 1985, the complex has undergone two major expansions; the first being the SEC Armadillo in 1997, and then the OVO Hydro in 2013

OVO Hydro

OVO Hydro plays host to national and international music megastars as well as global entertainment and sporting events.

With a maximum capacity of 14,300, OVO Hydro augments the SEC’s existing facilities and stages 140+ events annually.

Attracting an audience of more than a million visitors each year, the venue is consistently ranked by Pollstar in the top 10 arenas globally, alongside iconic venues like Madison Square Garden and The O2.

Since opening in September 2013, OVO Hydro has staged the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards, the Ryder Cup Gala Concert and the 2014 BBC Sports Personality of the Year. It was also a venue for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

SEC Armadillo

The SEC’s flagship conference space, the ‘SEC Armadillo’, offers the perfect recipe for meetings success. Designed by the world-renowned architectural practice, Foster + Partners, the iconic building is one of Glasgow’s best-loved landmarks featuring a 1,183 – 3,000-seater auditorium and adjacent breakout spaces.

SEC Centre

SEC Centre (previously known as the SECC) offers five interconnected exhibition and meeting rooms with a combined area of over 22,000sqm
