- Council Glasgow, City Of
- Parish Glasgow (City Of Glasgow)
- Former Region Strathclyde
- Former District City Of Glasgow
- Former County Lanarkshire
Construction (1964 - 1966)
Designed by Glasgow Corporation (Archibald George Jury, Chief Architect).
Information from Dictionary of Scottish Architects.
Modification (1968)
The school was extended by Glasgow Corporation at a cost of 163,000 pounds.
Publication Account (1997)
A demonstration of the persistence of the tradition of rationalistic, geometrical design within the Glasgow municipal architectural estabilishment: a secondary school planned with all teaching and assembly accomodation set in a concentric pattern of two circles. The outer circle contains a ing of wedge-shaped classrooms; at the centre, with open areas around, is a 13-sided, 71-seat hall. Typically of the matter-of-fact approach of Glasgow Corporation's architecture department, the elevations are sober reinforced concrete grids. In a smaller-scale echo of this design, a series of standardised circular primary schools was subsequenly built by Lanark County Council across the whole of Lanarkshire in the early 1970s. (Fig. 4.60).
Information from 'Rebuilding Scotland: The Postwar Vision, 1945-75', (1997).
Photographic Survey (16 August 2001)
Recorded in August 2001 prior to demolition as part of RCAHMS' Threatened Buildings Survey. The building was found to have a highly unusual circular plan main block with outer ring-like accomodation, and a thirteen-sided assembly hall in the middle.
Information from RCAHMS 2003.
