Hillhead Community Centre

macmon worked closely with the local community to provide a feasibility study followed by the design of new facilities to meet the needs of local residents.

Hillhead Community Centre comprises of a reception area, flexible hall, café/teaching kitchen, crèche, base for the local food co-operative, a number of rooms for multiple activities and outdoor space options for children, sports and allotment gardening. The centre will also act as a base for East Dunbartonshire Council's Active Schools and Positive Alternatives programmes, both aimed at young people.

The Centre is located at the heart of the Hillhead community surrounded by domestic dwellings providing convenient and easy access for all.

The design is simple and rational with a robust masonry public façade and a softer timber façade addressing an enclosed community courtyard and landscaped garden to the rear of the building.
