...Glasgow - this exuberant, design-conscious city of high sophistication and even higher style...

  Glasgow School of Art Campus Plan

Glasgow School of Art

Location: Garnethill, Glasgow

Glasgow School of Art (GSA) have announced that Steven Holl Architects (New York), working with Scottish based JM Architects has been selected, through an international competition, to lead the team to design a new building on the site opposite the world famous Mackintosh Building in Garnethill, Glasgow.

The brief for Steven Holl’s team is to work with GSA to refine the Masterplan for GSA’s Garnethill estate redevelopment and to design and deliver Phase 1 of its estates strategy, a new 11,000m2 building to significantly enhance the teaching, learning and research facilities available to Glasgow School of Art students and staff and the access which the public can have to their work.

The new building will sit immediately opposite the Mackintosh Building, recently voted the UK’s favourite building of the past 175 years in a national survey run by the Royal Institute of British Architects.

This announcement comes just over 100 years after the Glasgow School of Art held its first architectural competition, when it invited submissions from 11 architects’ practices for a new school in the city centre. The winner was 28 year old Charles Rennie Mackintosh (then working for Honeyman and Keppie), whose Mackintosh Building, will remain at the heart of the new urban campus and the educational experience of every GSA student.
