Alexander Turnbull Bldg (Strachlyde Uni) Conversion

Postby escotregen » Wed Apr 29, 2015 2:24 pm

Good to read of this; especially with the inclusion of new glazing uses. It's a striking if perhaps unlovely building - but the interior is very much of its era and wholly outmoded now. Was a time when the likes of the University of Strathclyde would have torn this down and replaced with who knows what. Things have progressed.

Before Strathclyde Uni bought the building back in 1975 it had been the offices of a tobacco company originally - does anyone know anything more about this??
