The University of Glasgow has appointed Savills to advise on the regeneration of a 70-acre campus.
The five-year contract for the west Glasgow site will first focus on the 14-acre site of the former Western Infirmary, recently acquired by the university.
Plans have been submitted for almost 700,000 sq ft of teaching accommodation, a 183,000 sq ft research building, 193,800 sq ft of offices, 75,350 sq ft of retail and leisure space, a 134,600 sq ft hotel and 156,100 sq ft of residential for a new urban quarter in Glasgow.
Bruce Patrick, investment director at Savills Glasgow, comments: “This is by far one of the most exciting and ambitious regeneration projects ever seen in Scotland that will transform the West End of Glasgow and secure the ongoing world class performance of the university.”
Ann Allen, director of estates and buildings at the University of Glasgow, adds: “The development of the university’s Gilmorehill Campus is a major investment, not just for the benefit of the university, but also for the wider community. We are delighted to continue to move the project forward with this appointment.”
