City of Glasgow College by Reiach and Hall and Michael Laird Architects

摘要

In a shortlist that contains several monuments to private wealth - a retirement dream house, an art-ocratic personal gallery, an endowed Oxford library extension - the riverside campus buildings for the City of Glasgow College lend a bit of welcome down-to-earth and public-spirited grit to the Stirling Prize proceedings. This is a project procured through the Scottish government's Non-Profit Distributing programme - a version of PFI - and the new home of one of only four UK maritime colleges, teaching marine engineering and science and delivering Merchant Navy officer training - as well as other technology, engineering and mathematics courses - to more than 3,000 students.
