The Lighthouse Trust

The Lighthouse Trust Glasgow

The Lighthouse Trust went into administration in August 2009. At its peak the Lighthouse Trust employed around 90 staff.

Its directors moved on: Nick Barley became director of the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Following a substantial redundancy programme the remaining staff were transferred to Architecture and Design Scotland (A+DS) and Glasgow City Council (GCC).

The Lighthouse building remains in the ownership of Glasgow City Council, which has made financial provision to meet the costs of operating the centre, re-establishing it as Scotland’s National Centre for Architecture and Design.
