A new Arena for the City of Dundee

Holmes Miller are working with Northern Light Arena Europe (NLAE) to shape up proposals for the new Dundee Esports Arena.

In order to mark the Scottish Esports League 4 (SEL4) grand finals, Northern Lights Arena Europe (NLAE) are sharing new concept art for its proposed state-of-the-area multi-purpose e-sports arena on the Dundee waterfront.

The 4000 capacity venue will be Europe’s first truly digital enabled arena space and attract top gamers and entertainers from across the globe.

NLAE’s state-of-the art arena will be Europe’s first truly digital enabled arena space and a flagship project for Dundee alongside the Eden project and V&A Scotland. The arena, which is due to be delivered in 2024, will have circa 4,000 seats and will be a hub for the e-sports sector, building on Dundee’s already well-established reputation as a leading gaming centre of excellence. The arena will be designed with the ability to flex for sports use, music concerts and conferencing.

‘Holmes Miller are delighted to be working with Luc Delany and NLAE to shape up design concepts for the Dundee Esports Arena. HM have extensive experience in the Arena and Stadia sector with over 30 years’ experience in design and delivery in the UK and internationally. We currently have projects in New Jersey, USA with MOTUS, and closer to home in Glasgow at the Scottish Event Campus, both of which feature diverse programs with parallels to the Dundee Arena Concept. We are well placed to assist the team and Dundee City Council in realising their vision for the City with this exciting project.’ – Ian Cooney, Project Director, Holmes Miller Architects.
