Sir Robert McAlpine has won a £45m deal to build Edinburgh’s first purpose-built music and performance venue in 100 years.
Client the International Music and Performing Arts Charitable Trust (IMPACT), supported by the Royal Bank of Scotland, was set up in 2016 to oversee the development of the Dunard Centre in Edinburgh’s St Andrew Square.
The new venue will be built on a site adjoining the listed Dundas House and will feature a 1,000-seat auditorium, a 200-seat studio, a large foyer for informal performances and a café/bar. The concrete and steel construction will require complex building services due to the acoustic requirements of the auditoria.
