The OVO Hydro is an indoor arena at the Scottish Event Campus on Exhibition Way, Glasgow, designed by Foster + Partners. Arup was structural engineer and Lendlease the general contractor. Scottish Event Campus Limited owns it, and AEG Live and ASM Global operate it. Construction began in February 2011 and finished in May 2013, and the arena opened on September 30, 2013. The article names no style or materials.

It cost £125 million. Capacity is 12,306 seated, or 14,500 with standing, though the text gives a maximum of 14,300. A domed roof and translucent outer cushions define the exterior.

Exhibition Centre railway station serves the arena. The article gives no visiting hours.
