The centre is located at The Legacy Hub on Springfield Road, G40 3LG. It joins eight drive-through sites, 36 walk-through sites, 42 mobile units, plus the Glasgow Lighthouse Lab which works to process samples.
The UK Government is also funding the Glasgow Lighthouse Lab (operated on its behalf by the University of Glasgow) which is part of a network of Lighthouse Labs across the UK mass processing Covid-19 tests.
