SEC Armadillo

SEC Armadillo
“SEC Armadillo” — The SEC Armadillo auditorium, Glasgow, Scotland

It was due to a series of more or less random circumstances that we ended up passing this fascinating building during our visit to Glasgow, Scotland. We started walking from our downtown hotel, heading generally toward the University of Glasgow, a nearby museum, and then towards an area known for, among other things, its street art. Then it was time to start back, and we spontaneously decided to follow the waterfront, and that look us past the “Armadillo” building.

At the start of the waterfront section we ran into a helpful local who spent several minutes filling us in on the history of this area, part of which was once filled with shipping facilities. He said that many public buildings in Glasgow end up with names like the one applied to this building. In fact, once you hear it called the Armadillo, that image sticks in your mind!
