Reiach and Hall consolidate the City of Glasgow College's campus with specialist facilities in new Riverside Campus building.
The Riverside Campus contains the City of Glasgow College’s faculty of nautical studies and faculty of building, engineering and energy. The project is the first part of the consolidation of the college from 12 sites onto two new campuses. Among the specialist facilities are a working ship’s engine room, cross-discipline project bases to encourage blended learning, an innovative multidiscipline engineering hall, a ship’s bridge simulation suite, alongside more generic teaching, learning and support spaces.
