The University of Glasgow is set to construct the Keystone Building, a major new learning, teaching, and research facility on its historic Gilmorehill campus in the West End of Glasgow. The 27,000-square-meter building will accommodate approximately 3,600 students and is projected to cost £300 million.
Our Net Zero team have been working with the University to ensure the Keystone Building is one of the largest net-zero-carbon University buildings in the UK.
The building will feature dry and wet lab spaces, high-tech computing labs, a maker’s workshop, and general teaching facilities for the James Watt School of Engineering.
The Keystone building provides an opportunity for the university to create a space that is a world leading exemplar of sustainable development. Therefore, we are targeting ‘BREEAM Excellent’ certification and ambitious embodied carbon targets.
