Glasgow University Campus Development

An update of the Glasgow University Campus Development Plan was shared at a community engagement event on Monday 13th June. Attendees were provided with an overview of the construction works.

There are residents living within University Place who are seeking reassurance that new buildings will not infringe on their privacy. There were questions raised about lighting, cleaning and office design. It is anticipated that further dialogue with residents will take place to resolve their concerns. 

There is a festival called Arcadia planned by the University to celebrate the opening of the new campus facilities in September 2022.

Shorelines Project mural for Cop26

This month, I found the Shorelines Project's mural on a walkabout of Edington Street.  It transforms the streetscape with an image of Mother Earth.
