Since opening in 1947, Langside College has offered learning and training opportunities to students from Glasgow and beyond and has established itself as a major player in the Scottish educational scene.
The new facility will enhance Langside College's provision of quality education through purpose built facilities, which include science laboratories, engineering workshops, art studios, a beauty therapy centre and training kitchens.
Graeme Hyslop, Principal said: ‘This is a very exciting time as it is the start of a new chapter in Langside College’s history. Our building programme provides future learners with the best possible facilities for learning and Langside College staff with an excellent working environment. It also places the College in an excellent position, not only to take forward the aims and objectives of the Curriculum for Excellence which will be the foundation of education in Scotland in the early 21st century, but also to meet the needs of Glasgow’s citizens in the present economic recession.’ This iconic entrance building is the main teaching block and was the first of three stages of building at Langside College. It was started in January 2008 and completed in May 2009. The Open Day was its launch to the general public. Stage two will create an indoor sports centre, theatre arts complex and arts centre and will be completed by September 2010.
