Headquarters
In 2009, Scottish Ballet moved into its purpose-built home at the Tramway complex in Glasgow, creating a production and presentation facility of a scale and artistic mix unrivalled in the U.K. Designed by Malcolm Fraser Architects, the building features three full size dance studios, including the Peter Darrell Studio which is the largest dedicated dance rehearsal studio in Europe; a technical workshop; wardrobe facilities including shoe and costume stores, fitting rooms and dyeing rooms; a small practice studio; aa dedicated Education Studio for classes and workshops; a fitness suite with Gyrotonic equipment; office space, and a social space and Green Room.
Scottish Ballet's headquarters was built on a derelict site at Tramway. The gold roof has become a landmark of Glasgow's South Side, and the building has received awards including the Grand Prix and the Public Building awards at the Scottish Design Awards and a Silver Award in the Public Building category at the Roses Design Awards.

Famous quotes containing the word headquarters:
“What does headquarters think these guys came over here for, a sewing circle? They go up playing for keeps. Cops and robbers with rocks in the snowballs. Brass knuckles and lead pipes and a roughneck conviction they can lick any man in the world.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
“Anything goes in Wichita. Leave your revolvers at police headquarters and get a check.”
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“If the national security is involved, anything goes. There are no rules. There are people so lacking in roots about what is proper and what is improper that they don’t know there’s anything wrong in breaking into the headquarters of the opposition party.”
—Helen Gahagan Douglas (1900–1980)
