The first phase of the GSA Garnethill campus development was the Reid Building, a purpose designed building for the School of Design, which replaced the Foulis Building and Newbery Tower, and was completed in 2014.
The total cost to the GSA of recovery from the fire, restoration (west wing) and upgrade (east wing) of the Mackintosh Building, and the campus development plans is in the region of £80m.
The total cost of restoring and upgrading the Mackintosh Building will be around £51m split roughly two thirds restoration of the west wing and one third upgrading the east wing.
The GSA will meet this cost from its own resources (including insurance settlement), disposal of buildings no longer fit for purpose (JD Kelly and Richmond Buildings) and fundraising. £17m has been raised to date (comprising £15m from the UK and Scottish governments and £2m from philanthropic giving).

The Glasgow School of Art
The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) was founded in 1845 as one of the first Government Schools of Design, as a centre of creativity promoting good design for the manufacturing industries of Glasgow. However, the School’s lineage can be traced to 1753 when Robert Foulis established a school of art and design in Glasgow, which was described as the single most influential factor in the development of eighteenth-century Scottish Art.
Today, The GSA is internationally recognised as one of Europe’s leading university-level institutions for the visual creative disciplines. Our studio-based approach to research and teaching brings disciplines together to explore problems in new ways to find new innovative solutions. The studio creates the environment for inter-disciplinarity, peer learning, critical inquiry, experimentation and prototyping, helping to addressing many of the challenges confronting society and contemporary business.
