The University of Glasgow, one of the UK’s oldest universities, has the unique opportunity to expand for the future With the reversion of the neighbouring 5.5 hectare former Western Infirmary hospital site, this significant redevelopment presents the opportunity to form a new visual coherence for the whole campus. In addition, it allows a co-ordinated approach to re-shaping the wider campus. It is crucial that the University strengthens its connections with the surrounding city. With 82,000m2 of academic teaching space and 18,000m2 of commercial research space, the site will form a new, vibrant learning and research environment which is woven into the social, cultural and urban fabric of the Glasgow’s West End.
