The motion

That the Parliament recognises the Allander Leisure Centre, Bearsden, for topping the leaderboard in the Leisure and Arts category at the 2024 Glasgow Institute of Architects Design Awards, with judges commending the Allander for being "welcoming" and "innovative", in particular for what it sees as the pioneering move to bring the leisure centre and adult resource centre together, providing a people-focused campus; notes that the Allander was built by East Dunbartonshire Council with architectural design by Holmes Miller, with the official opening ceremony taking place in February 2024; acknowledges that the centre offers a range of sporting and leisure facilities, while also including a support base for adults with learning disabilities in the Allander Resource Centre, which was also recently recognised for Diversity in the Public Sector at The Herald and GenAnalytics 2024 Diversity Awards; welcomes this fantastic achievement, and thanks all of the hardworking staff in the Allander.
