The £86m teaching block has been designed by architect Hassell and is the fourth major new building to be delivered through the University’s £1bn Campus Development Programme.

This involves redeveloping the site of the former Western Infirmary in Glasgow’s West End with the new building located on the site’s southern boundary, on Dumbarton Road and adjacent to Kelvingrove Museum and Kelvin Hall.

Hassell principal, Julian Gitsham, said “The new building will form a gateway between the city’s cultural quarter and the new campus square, and embody both the University’s long-standing civic partnership and its cutting-edge modern architecture.

“Through outstanding teaching, research and creative workplaces for students, academics and staff, the new school will facilitate industry and academic collaborations, and drive research and innovation.”
