Location: Garnethill, Glasgow

Steven Holl Architects (New York) and Scottish based JM Architects are leading on the design for a new building on the site opposite the world famous Mackintosh Building in Garnethill, Glasgow.

The brief for the design 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 which was voted the UK’s favourite building of the past 175 years in a national survey run by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
