Condition Survey (January 2007 - April 2007)
NS 5373 6819 A conservation audit of this 40 acre site was carried out between January-April 2007 for Strathclyde University, which is planning to relocate the Education Faculty from Jordanhill to a city centre site. The campus will be sold and the audit is intended to inform development. Jordanhill was recorded as 'lands' in 1546 and was the family estate of the Crawfurds from 1562. A neoclassical villa was built in the late 18th century, incorporating parts of the original tower house, but this was demolished in the 1960s. The estate was developed as the first education training college in Scotland. The David Stow building and one student hostel were designed in 1913 and a further hostel was built in 1931. After the War a large number of institutional buildings of varying quality were constructed. The report highlighted the importance of both the pre-war college buildings and their landscape setting. The late 18th- and early 19th-century landscaping and a number of mature trees remain to a striking degree. Part of the landscaping was carried out under the auspices of the landscape designer Sir Henry Steuart, and mature trees were transplanted from other sites to create 'instant' landscapes.
