At Motherwell Theatre, entrance is through a lobby defined by two sets of glass doors; on either side of this small space are abstract murals made by Robert Stewart in 1966 at his Loch Striven Studio in Argyll. The mural measures some 6’ by 8’. The theatre and concert hall are listed as part of the civic centre complex but are closed and  threatened with demolition owing to problems with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete.
