Huge fit-out team starts work on £333m Aberdeen centre

More than 850 workers have started the huge fit-out job on the £333m The Event Complex Aberdeen (TECA) project.

Robertson Group is main contractor on the job which is due for completion next year.

Robertson Group’s Chief Executive Officer Derek Shewan said: “While the construction of the exterior of The Event Complex Aberdeen is entering its final stages, work on the interior is continuing apace.

“More than 850 Robertson employees and contractors, including many local joiners, painters, electricians and plumbers, are currently transforming the interior of the building into a world class event, hospitality and exhibition space.”

New computer-generated visualisations of the venue have also been released by architect Keppie Design.

The 12,500-capacity main arena will host conferences, exhibitions and music concerts.

The facility will also boast three further conference/exhibition halls, four multi-purpose conference rooms, and 15 meeting rooms.

The project is being delivered by Aberdeen City Council and its development partner, Henry Boot Developments Limited (HBD).

Nick Harris, Director of HBD in Scotland said: “These new images of the arena and restaurant are an exciting glimpse into how the facility will look when it opens.

“Work is continuing to progress on schedule, with finishing touches currently being made to the roof, and it’s amazing to think that in just a few short months, interior spaces like these will really be taking shape.”
