<p>In November 1929 <a href="ABC_Cinemas" title="ABC Cinemas">ABC</a> opened its flagship cinema. The architect who designed the building was named: CJ McNair.<sup id="cite_ref-auto_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As this was to be ABC's flagship cinema it also seated a total of 2,359 people. The cinema was a conversion from an older building. The building was originally built in 1875 as the Diorama. In 1878 it was renamed as the Panorama.<sup id="cite_ref-auto_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> 10 years from the building's creation; in 1885 the building was then completely transformed to become Hubners Ice Skating Palace. In 1888 the building was one of the first in Glasgow to have electricity,
</p><p>The next phase of the building's life was when it was renamed the Hippodrome. The building became the home of the then popular "<a href="Hengler's_Circus" class="mw-redirect" title="Hengler's Circus">Hengler's Circus</a>".<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When the circus was not putting on shows the building was used once again for the purpose of showing films to the public. In 1927 the building reverted into the function it was originally built for, a dance hall. The building consisted of a ground floor car park while the second floor was the main dance hall.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cinema">Cinema</h3></div>
<p>When the dancehall was renovated in 1929 the building retained the majority of its original architecture. the roof structure, the ground level of the building remained the car park while the dance floor became the stalls of the cinema. The ground level also had a small entrance area that consisted of 2 box-offices. The main entrance of the cinema was reached by the twin staircase; which is still there today, as well as the option of two lifts to use. The actual <a href="Auditorium" title="Auditorium">auditorium</a>; which consisted of seats on ground level and above, with balconies overlooking the stage, seated a total of 2359 people.

</p><p>In 1979 the main building (ABC1) closed to undergo a <a href="Renovation" title="Renovation">renovation</a> into a four-screen cinema. Each of these screens seated: 906, 306, 206 and 192 people. The renovated building opened its doors to the public on 13 December 1979.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Music_venue">Music venue</h3></div>
<p>David McBride from Regular Music spotted a gap in the market for a music venue of this size in Glasgow. A major interior conversion project of the former ABC1 cinema building was started in 2002 and then in 2005 the fit-out was completed. In 2009, the <a href="Academy_Music_Group" title="Academy Music Group">Academy Music Group</a> took a majority stake in the venue, rebranding it the O2 ABC.
