Building For The Future

Queen's Park look for help to improve facilities for the local community.

Queen’s Park may be amateurs but they have a professional attitude to improving their facilities. They have commissioned Glasgow company CBC to be the main contractors for their new Legacy Pavilion that will be built alongside the oldest changing rooms in world football that are still in use.

The new building will be the new HQ for the Third Division club and their Youth Department at Lesser Hampden and will be built alongside the 19th century farmhouse that was converted into changing facilities when Queen’s started to use the ground nearly 90 years ago. Both buildings will sit in the shadows of the National Stadium that the club own but lease out to Hampden Park Limited.

As well as hard work to get the Pavilion built there will also be hard work off the park. Club president Alan Hutchsion said: "We have agreed a funding agreement that will see the contractors on site in a matter of weeks with the work expected to be completed in spring 2013. We will have to work very hard to raise the money needed to fit out the building to the standard we all want to see.

Every member and supporter of the club will have a part to play as we endeavour to make sure that the Legacy Pavilion is a facility that allows Queen’s Park to develop our football activities in a way that benefits the entire community."
