glassnahalf Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 The V&A in Dundee will be next to go up. It needs millions of pounds extra to keep it going and it isn't even open yet! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Warnings today that it could fall down at any second. Sadly it didn't fall during Mundell's visit today. As an aside, when did everyone start referring to it as "The Mack"? I've lived in Glasgow all my life and never heard it before the last few days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The what?! "The Art School" is obviously one syllable too long for these c***s. World's gone mad.

I think that building has always been called The Mack. The Art School has more than one building. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanted to be pedantic, I'd mention that The Glasgow School of Art is an accredited institution of the University of Glasgow rather than a "university/school", and that the Mackintosh (note the k) building was not the main campus, but one of a number of buildings on the main Garnethill Campus. Hope this helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broomhill Ultra Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Heard from a good source that fire started in the basement of neighbouring building and initial assessment is deliberate. So possibly the Art School was unintended victim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Bump.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-45540082 Muriel Gray criticising reports of £100M rebuild cost today as "plucked out of thin air" because even the art school has "absolutely no idea until we know the scale of the damage". Then goes on to announce it definitely will be rebuilt because "it's non-negotiable" and the trustees "are completely unanimous about this and it's not up for discussion". So basically a blank cheque, then? Meanwhile the ceiling of a neighbouring art gallery - outside the safety cordon, but accessed using an entrance inside it - has collapsed after a toilet was left leaking for 3 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
