The SEC Armadillo, formerly the Clyde Auditorium, is a conference and concert venue at the Scottish Event Campus on Exhibition Way in Glasgow. Foster + Partners designed it, with Arup as structural engineer. Groundbreaking was in September 1995, it was completed in August 1997 and it opened on September 7, 1997. The cost was 30 million pounds.
Its exterior of overlapping, curved sections gave it the armadillo nickname. Capacity is up to 3,000, depending on configuration, and it connects to the exhibition and meeting spaces of the campus. The article gives no materials or dimensions.
The venue was used for weightlifting at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and again in 2026. Exhibition Centre is the nearest rail station.
