The 11,500m2<\/sup> building is the final phase of the university\u2019s Adam Smith Business School and contains facilities arranged around a central atrium designed to encourage innovative working.<\/p>\n

Part of a \u00a31 billion campus development and expansion programme, the building forms a gateway to the campus. A series of academic offices, workspaces, teaching spaces and specialist hubs are laid out around a central atrium that also acts as a collaborative breakout space.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The building has two main entries, the southern one facing out towards the city and a north-eastern one facing towards the campus.<\/p>\n

It takes the form of a series of \u2018stepping blocks\u2019 breaking up its bulk, its fa\u00e7ade primarily formed from masonry with vertical elements, creating a solid, civic presence which is designed to sit coherently beside the context of Anderson College and the nearby Kelvinhall campus.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Internally the design layout aims to facilitate collaboration and interaction between all users of the building \u2013 students, staff and professional visitors.<\/p>\n

Hassell conceptualised this layout as three programmatic \u2018stacks\u2019 separated by light wells. The southern one is for research and academic work, the northern for teaching and learning and the central one containing collaborative spaces. The latter includes a reconfigurable \u2018hothouse\u2019 space that hosts industry-led activities such as entrepreneurial hack-a-thons, workshops and careers events, as well as student-led societies.<\/p>\n

Architect\u2019s view<\/h3>\n

It has been a privilege to collaborate with the University of Glasgow in designing the Business School, which honours the enduring legacy of Adam Smith’s enlightened contributions to economic theory and practice. Our design for the school centres on the principles of interdisciplinary research and collaboration to cultivate and boost innovative thinking and entrepreneurialism, supporting the business leaders of tomorrow. Positioned as a welcoming gateway to the Gilmorehill Campus from Dumbarton Road, the distinctive masonry facade references the city’s iconic red sandstone tone, subtly combining with the hues and textures of the local townscape.

Client\u2019s view<\/h3>\n

I am delighted with our new building. It is a beautiful, light open space that offers many opportunities for delivering excellent learning experiences for our students, and collaborative, welcoming offices, meeting rooms and spaces for our staff and external partners. The opening of the cafe on the ground floor will benefit our community, offering a welcoming place for staff, students, partners and the local community to come into the Adam Smith Business School, enjoy a refreshment and have a look around our fabulous new building. I very much look forward to spending time in the cafe and to welcoming staff, students and visitors into our new building.
