BBC Pacific Quay, Broadcasting center in Glasgow, Scotland
BBC Pacific Quay is a modern broadcasting center along the River Clyde featuring a glass exterior and multiple studio spaces. The building contains television studios and radio facilities that serve national broadcasting needs.
The building opened in 2007 as a new headquarters for BBC Scotland, replacing an older facility located elsewhere in the city. It marked a move to a riverside location intended to support expanded broadcasting operations.
The facility produces television shows watched across Scotland, demonstrating how media production remains deeply rooted in this city.
The location sits along the Clyde riverfront, making it easy to find and offering views of the waterside. The large lobby is designed to help visitors navigate the spaces without getting confused.
Inside the building, the design uses stepped levels with red sandstone structures that create informal gathering spots. This unusual layout resembles a miniature city, with each level serving different purposes.
