Why this place is important to the local New Scots: "I have been to this place many times and this place is important because there are activities inside the hub you can do such as doing exercise at the gym and the computer section which you can use and where you can print for free."

Text-to-speech Audio

The Maryhill Hub opened to the public in July 2010, and provides a range of leisure, learning and recreational activities for the Wyndford and wider Maryhill communities.

The centre is open to the public from 9am till 9pm, Tuesday to Friday and 9am till 4pm on a Saturday and offers a range of facilities including a café, gym and fitness centre, meeting spaces and a programme of activities throughout the year.

The Maryhill Hub building used to be the St Gregory Primary School. The school gained local fame when parents and staff decided to occupy the building in 2009, after hearing the school was threatened with closure. A similar situation was found at nearby Wyndham Primary, also threatened with closure.

The Glasgow Times covered the occupation. For further reading see the links below.
