Learning & Teaching Building

BDP Glasgow studio has completed the redesign of the new Learning and Teaching Building at the heart of the University of Strathclyde’s Campus in Glasgow.

The 20,000sqm project comprised the refurbishment and adaptive re-use of two existing buildings, the Colville Building and the B-listed Architecture Building and created a new-build hub overlooking the University’s Rottenrow Gardens.

The Learning and Teaching Project is a unique and collective hub for students and staff, comprising a variety of learning and teaching spaces, from small breakout spaces to a 400 seat lecture theatre. The range of spaces is reflective of the varying needs of activities throughout the building. The Learning and Teaching project also houses the Student Support Services and the Student Union to provide students with a central support facility at the heart of the campus.

The University Campus remained fully operational throughout the process with BDP working with the University’s Estates Services and Main Contractor to help facilitate this.
