Motherwell Civic Centre, Category B listed civic center in Motherwell, Scotland
Motherwell Civic Centre is a six-story administrative building on Windmillhill Street with stone-faced panels and continuous window lines. The complex includes separate council chamber facilities and an attached theatre and events complex.
The foundation stone was laid in 1965 and the building was completed in 1970, since serving as the local government administrative center. Its construction shaped the town's architectural character during the second half of the 1900s.
The center houses a performance hall and theatre that serve as important venues for the arts in the community. These spaces host regular shows and events that reflect the cultural life of the town.
The building is accessible during council operating hours but may close temporarily for inspections or maintenance work. It is worth checking ahead to confirm whether planned visits or events can proceed.
The building became known for having a special material in its roof structure that required safety assessments and temporary closures. This example shows how modern buildings can face unexpected material challenges years after construction.
