Once an early twentieth century printing press for worker activist groups, now a vibrant twenty-first century co-working and events hub, Civic House is Scotland’s first retrofit ‘PassivWareHaus’.
Civic House and its sibling venue The Glue Factory are projects of Agile City – a Community Interest Company creating space for work, events and learning whilst considering sustainable approaches to repurposing industrial buildings and addressing issues of vacant space through activation, testing and learning.
Based in Speirs Locks – an area dramatically affected by loss of industry and the construction of the M8 motorway – Civic House’s newest incarnation as adaptive centre for social and cultural enterprise readily addresses notions of flux and questions how we might hold on to the city’s built heritage whilst addressing present and future needs of city dwellers and makers.
Join us in the heart of our home – the Civic House Kitchen – to share food and hear about the building’s retrofit, as well as recent developments seeking to re-establish Civic Street as a vibrant public space.
Civic House is a workspace and venue that supports a community of people working across social and cultural enterprise.
Located in Speirs Locks, north Glasgow, we aim to provide space that stimulates ideas for a positive future for the city.
