Supporting the University

The University of Glasgow was established in 1451, making it the fourth oldest university in the UK, with the main Gilmorehill campus based in the city's West End.

In 2017, the University embarked upon an ambitious expansion programme to further enhance its global standing and provide a positive impact on the community it serves – creating additional world-class teaching and research facilities through a £1 billion investment programme.

Phase one of this investment consisted of the construction of a new Learning and Teaching Hub on University Avenue and the development of the former Western Infirmary site. In total, creating four new academic buildings with associated landscaping, infrastructure and roads. The development aims to create a vibrant learning and research campus that is woven into the urban fabric of Glasgow’s West End, building on the university’s legacy and positioning it as a ‘world-changer’ in international higher education.

The team tasked with undertaking the Campus Development scheme consisted of:
