The Grade-B listed building in South Lanarkshire has been closed since September 2012 to allow the work to be carried out.
It has now reopened to the public after funding for the repairs and refurbishment was provided by the council together with a grant of £56k from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The Cambuslang Institute has hosted a variety of cultural and sporting events in the past, as well as provided meeting areas for local people.

In addition to the original facilities, which have all been upgraded, the Institute now has a new sound system for use by local groups, a newly installed soft play area for children up to the age of eight which can be booked for birthday parties and a newly formed reception area.
Throughout the process, the council worked closely with Historic Scotland to ensure that the upgrading of the building was carried out with care and sensitivity.
Councillor Hamish Stewart, Chair of the Community Services Committee said: "We are grateful to the Heritage Lottery Fund for the grant towards the upgrade which will help safeguard the future of this iconic facility in Cambuslang.
"This is the latest in a number of successful partnership projects with the Heritage Lottery Fund which has seen the improvement of facilities across a range of venues throughout South Lanarkshire."
