We’re beyond excited to announce our proposal to take on a 25 year lease of the former Scotland Street School Museum through Glasgow City Council’s People Make Glasgow Communities programme! 🎉
Closed to the public since 2020, we are proposing that the building would be brought back into full public use as a creative hub for Glasgow. The ground floor would house a café, a contemporary art gallery, an artist residency space and a screening room, while the upper floors would provide artist studios and space for creative businesses.
We will retain and enhance as much of the building’s original interior and character as possible, including dedicating space to telling the story of the school and Mackintosh’s architecture.
Subject to the lease being agreed, we hope to begin works in 2027, with a view to opening the building to the public in 2028. You can read our full PMGC proposal online.
~ Survey ~
We want to hear from people who know and care about the building before we finalise our plans. This survey takes about 8–10 minutes to complete. Your answers will help shape the final plans we develop and will also form part of our PMGC application. Your opinions are greatly appreciated, and we thank you for the time taken to complete this survey.
If you would like to contribute, please complete the survey linked in our bio! 🔗
~ Information Sessions ~
There will be an information session held at Kinning Park Complex on the evening of 2nd October, with a further local date to be confirmed, and one held at David Dale Gallery.

We look forward to hearing from you! 💌
