A place made for learning – an exemplar of development with experience at its heart.
Built on a vision of infrastructure, buildings and facilities working together to connect a campus lifestyle with accessible, inspiring learning spaces, the College met all aspects of the Scottish Executive's six qualities of place in 2015, and the two campuses were shortlisted for the Sterling Prize, one in 2015 and one in 2016. This is testimony to our relationship with Sir Robert McAlpine, which enables us to deliver innovation and quality as a shared initiative.
Today, it is home to over 40,000 Students and 1,200 staff. But times change, and approaches to learning never stand still, and neither can the College if it is to sustain its reputation as an exemplar of modern education. Our partnership was built on the shared values of innovation and quality, and these are more important than ever as we shape new approaches to facilities management, challenge working practices and evolve the College's digital infrastructure. Together, we are reducing energy consumption, increasing sustainability and meeting the need for flexible spaces that respond to a changing curriculum and new approaches to learning.
As part of a 30-year commitment, we provide management continuity and a hands-on approach that meets challenges head-on to future-proof the College and its value to Glasgow's reputation.
