The AHSS has issued the following statement on the future of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Glasgow School of Art:

“Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s design for the Glasgow School of Art is—or was—of national and international significance. On that basis alone, we believe there is a compelling case for a proportionate restoration of the building for the enjoyment of future generations.

“Given the investment that will be required, we believe that alternative, probably public, uses should be considered, allowing the widest possible range of the community to enjoy this iconic masterpiece of early Modern architecture.”
