Clark Contracts has completed their third project within the OVO Hydro, which has allowed the formation of the new Sky VIP lounge.
The main contractor completed the construction of the base build for the lounge, spanning around a third of the perimeter of the Hydro bowl, entailing complex fire compartmentation works to deliver an iconic addition to Scotland’s home of live entertainment.
Clark Contracts has previously formed the Clubhouse bar and balcony, and one of the venues Super Suites.
Gerry Cummins, Director at Clark Contracts said “We are delighted to have completed a 3rd project within this iconic venue. The new Sky lounge provides a modern and luxurious space for Sky customers. This project has been a true partnership with SEC and the consultant team of Holmes Miller, Arup and Gardiner and Theobald. We look forward to collaborating with the team on future projects within the venue.”
The new exclusive lounge has several benefits, including a dedicated entrance and customer check-in, plus a private area to relax with food and drink away from the crowds meaning users can get everything they need before enjoying a show, including merchandise from their favourite acts. Sky customers who already have a ticket to a show at OVO Hydro can sign up on the MySky app to visit the lounge on a first-come, first-served basis.
Ross Easton, Head of Commercial at Scottish Event Campus, said, “The Sky VIP lounge construction has been a highly complex and technically demanding project due to its location within the arena bowl and the need to schedule works around our packed event calendar. Clark Contracts have once again proven to be an exceptional partner, collaborating seamlessly with our project team and Sky to bring this ambitious vision to life. The result is a premium, state-of-the-art lounge that elevates the guest experience at OVO Hydro.”
