The existing Possilpoint Centre in Glasgow is to be demolished for the redevelopment of the site for a new community centre and nursery.

The new facilities are to be developed in three phases, with the first phase to include two main multi-purpose community areas contained within double-storey pitched roof structure, reGlasgow has reported.

The site has been developed by Collective Architecture(CA). In a statement about the site, CA said: "The new centre will be carefully crafted to provide a landmark hub to serve the surrounding community and its future generations. All phases are interconnected via a glazed roof circulation street.

"The site used to accommodate Civic Glass works. It is intended that the proposal will specifically recognise the historical glass works with bespoke internal glazing and graphics. Capturing as much natural daylight via rooflights, sun tunnels and large format windows will reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day.

"Possilpark People's Trust have ambitions to expand to offer more services for the area and are developing a new community facility incorporating a family centre, which will create a better community and resource facility for Possilpark.

"This would have the advantages of bringing lead agencies and other partners under one roof, to encourage a greater working partnership and to share resources in running the building and services.

"This would provide a modern, state-of-the-art hub for activities and services to be provided by partners as well as other wider agencies."
