James McCune Smith Learning Hub
2021

The University of Glasgow’s new, world-leading, James McCune Smith Learning Hub (JMSLH) has opened its doors to students for the first time this week.

The £90 million state-of-the-art learning and teaching facility is located at the heart of University’s existing Gilmorehill campus, in the West End of the city. Designed by HLM Architects, the JMSLH will provide state-of-the-art learning facilities, and further enhance Glasgow’s reputation as a welcoming, accessible and world-renowned destination for learning.

When fully operational it will provide hi-tech learning facilities for over 2,500 students, including a range of technology-enhanced learning spaces for group and individual study.

The James McCune Smith Learning Hub is named after the prominent civil rights activist and first African American to be awarded a medical degree, awarded by the University of Glasgow in 1837. Initially it will open with full COVID restrictions in place, including 2 metre physical distancing, enhanced hygiene and cleaning measures and strict cap on numbers.

It will provide additional individual study space on-campus only for students who do not have access to appropriate facility to study from home.
