Mackintosh Building’s New Future | Belfast News

Glasgow School of Art is calling for urgent funding to fully restore the Mackintosh Building after two devastating fires, despite a recent insurance payout—construction costs have skyrocketed. Rather than rebuild alone, they’re proposing a bold new vision: transforming the iconic structure into the heart of a creative and cultural innovation district to drive citywide economic regeneration. With government partners and heritage officials on board, they’re starting with an “enabling project” this summer to remove scaffolding and secure the site, paving the way for a future where the building fuels Glasgow’s creative economy—not just as a monument, but as a catalyst for growth.
