Caledonia House is on the market with a closing date set for 12 noon on 9 October 2024.
A full cost benefit analysis of Caledonia House was conducted in March 2023 to consider whether the building was fit-for-purpose and financially viable for sportscotland to keep as the ‘House of Sport’. The review highlighted that a significant level of investment would be required to refurbish the building. When running costs and reduced usage due to hybrid working were factored in, it was clear that this was not a good use of public money, and the building should be sold.
Existing tenants were part of the consultation process and have been notified of the proposed sale sportscotland will continue to support them with information and guidance on alternative accommodation and where possible, sportscotland will facilitate introductions to wider partners \where there is potential to co-locate. We will not be funding alternative accommodation for tenants.
Discussions are ongoing with Scottish Government to determine how the proceeds of the sale of Caledonia will be used.
