Project Profile - Building restoration
GLASGOW THEATRES LTD - THE KING'S THEATRE, GLASGOW

Building restoration in Glasgow Scotland by Project Management & Construction Ltd

One of the most prestigious projects in Glasgow is this 5 year restoration project valued at a total of £5m which is scheduled for completion in time for the Commonwealth Games in 2014.

Phase 1 was completed in 7 weeks during the summer recess and consisted of substantial removal and replacement of seating and re-configuration of the orchestra pit. All new seating in the stalls and partially in the grand circle was installed. The orchestra pit was substantially increased in size and a new raised fire proof timber floor fitter to the main auditorium, with service ducts to accommodate the fitting of a ventilation system.

A removable steel deck flooring system was fitted to the orchestra pit which allows the theatre to maintain its current seating levels for normal productions but can easily be removed to allow for a full orchestra performance.

A specially designed carpet bearing the Glasgow Coat of Arms was fitted to all walkways and entrances and a new hardwearing floor covering was fitted to all areas under the new seats. Specialist restoration works were carried out on the existing marble columns and new end of row floor lights were also fitted.

All of this in 7 weeks and in time for the opening show of the new season.
