An article about the campus development story so far has been released by the University of Glasgow. The development involves many FIS members working with Multiplex, including Linear Projects, Roskel Contracts, Indeglås, Vision Sign and Digital.
In 2017, the University launched an ambitious initiative to transform the 14-acre former Western Infirmary site, adjacent to the Gilmorehill campus, into a hub for teaching, learning, civic engagement, and research. This development programme is one of the largest campus expansions in the UK.
Despite the challenges faced due to the global pandemic, the University has completed four state-of-the-art academic buildings: the James McCune Smith Learning Hub (JMS), the Mazumdar-Shaw Advanced Research Centre (ARC), the Clarice Pears Building, and the Adam Smith Building. These facilities, along with newly developed expansive public spaces and supporting infrastructure, have become a key part of both the University and the Glasgow West End communities, transforming the area into a welcoming neighbourhood in the heart of the city.
As the University enters the next stage of the campus development programme, various teams across the University are actively shaping how further investment in the physical realm will continue to enable the world-changing research and teaching. Currently, they are embarking on the Keystone Building development while also exploring additional locations for future expansion. At the same time, they are investing in their ongoing programme of campus refurbishments.
