<dc:title>Olympia Building, The</dc:title>
<dc:description>&lt;p&gt;The B-listed Olympia Building began life in 1911 as the Olympia Theatre of Varieties, and is now home to the Olympia Social Research Hub as well as Bridgeton Library and Scotland's first British Film Institute (BFI) Mediatheque. You are invited to the top floor to learn about health and life in Glasgow, the building's history, and take in the panoramic city views.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The B-listed Olympia Building began life in 1911 as the Olympia Theatre of Varieties, and has had an eventful history, being used as a theatre, cinema, bingo club and furniture store, before becoming derelict and suffering a serious fire in the early 21st century. It was acquired on behalf of the local community by Clyde Gateway Ltd in 2009 and, after extensive redevelopment, was reopened in 2012 as part of the regeneration of Bridgeton Cross. It is now home to the Olympia Social Research Hub as well as Bridgeton Library and Scotland's first British Film Institute (BFI) Mediatheque. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>

<item_type_metadata:activities>&lt;p&gt;For Doors Open Days in 2018 the top floor will be open, where you can enjoy views over the city and meet the tenants: the Glasgow Centre for Population Health and the University of Glasgow. As befits a former cinema, you can view a number of short films exploring life in Glasgow and hear more about work to understand Glasgow's health and tackle inequalities in the city, with a particular focus on the lives of children and young people. Booking for these tours is essential, though a small number of places will be available on the day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tours: Tue &amp;amp; Thu 5.30pm; Sat 11am &amp;amp; 12pm; 45 minutes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Booking:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/olympia-building-11th-sept-530pm-tickets-46323381481&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tuesday 11th September 5.30pm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/olympia-building-13th-sept-530pm-tickets-47510301591&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Thursday 13th September 5.30pm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/olympia-building-15th-sept-11am-tickets-47510324660&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Saturday 15th September 11am&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/olympia-building-15th-sept-12pm-tickets-47510332684&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Saturday 15th September�12pm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</item_type_metadata:activities>
