Education Buildings Journal


The masterplan was designed specifi cally to encourage movement through the campus and the civic square linking the West End with areas leading towards the Glasgow cultural quarter and on to the River Clyde.


campus that refl ected our heritage as well as being forward-looking. The masterplan sought to support the University’s role as a civic university whilst being engaged with the community. The plan had to make a statement about being ‘Glasgow’ in addition to making the campus porous with new public routes running through the campus and the new civic square.


"The University will invest £1 billion, deliver 100,000 square metres of new buildings and improve the existing estate - all by 2023"


The porous campus has also been woven into individual building design. Each building is designed by an individual design team who work within a set of design principles. The team adhere to a specifi c expectation that each building will play a role in the overall masterplan. To support the principle of a porous campus' each building will have active ground fl oors which provide visual connections from the outside in, and clear visual connections from within to the outside. Many buildings will have public routes through the ground fl oors. We are also seeking to make our campus ‘sticky’. It has been evidenced that students who stay on campus for longer will benefi t from higher academic outcomes. The activities in the buildings, combined with longer opening hours of these buildings, will help not only


the porous campus but a ‘sticky’ campus too.


We are now moving from planning into delivery, and to minimise disruption to students we have appointed a single delivery partner. This should not only minimise intrusion but also ensure we can create a living laboratory on the construction site.


So what next for the development? Off the back of the investment in the campus, and the emphasis on place-making, we are now engaged with the city regarding how we support inclusive economic growth. With Glasgow City Council and Scottish Enterprise we have launched the Glasgow University Innovation District and through this we believe we can create an even wider legacy than fi rst imagined. There is much to do, but I believe at The University of Glasgow we can clearly demonstrate that the built


environment can deliver more than just buildings to keep people warm and dry. All of us working in the educational built environment are privileged to be able to make our own contribution to creating great environments which will support both amazing academics and students.


Ann Allen will be speaking at Education Estates on 16 October.


The Research Hub designed by a team lead by HOK architects will provide a unique environment for disciplinary research across science, technology, social science and arts.
