Glasgow's new super college. Read all about it.

Working in City of Glasgow College I was given notice that the story was hitting the newspapers today. £228million will be invested in a new super campus for the college. Demolition of some buildings will begin in the summer, with a grand opening expected in 2016.

In days where we tighten our belts rather than spend triple digit millions, it's a bold and exciting step. A large new, state-of-the-art building with amongst other features, a rooftop cafe. The phrase 'future-proofing' has a space-age feel, but that's the task facing the architects, and us. Quite something, and it's an almost quaint notion to see one's place of work front above-the-fold of the local evening newspaper (Evening Times, circulation c. 50k), and emblazoned on vendor-banners. Exciting times. More news when we have it. Read all about it now, and over the next three years.
