The King's Pavilion is a building in Old Aberdeen owned by the University of Aberdeen.
It is home to the yearly WayWORD festival ran by the university's Word Centre. Events are held over a week every September which celebrate unconventional forms of expression.
The building was opened in 1941 by the chancellor of the university James Meston, 1st Baron Meston.[1] It was designed by Alexander George Robertson Mackenzie.[2] It replaced an earlier sports pavilion.[3]
The building was Category B listed in 1967.[4]
The building contains a gym and changing facilities. The building also contains a swimming pool which is now disused following the opening of the swimming pools at the Aberdeen Sports Village.[5] [6]
