November deadline for Campus Consultation
Published: 9 October 2013
The deadline for submissions for the current round of consultation on the Gilmorehill Campus Vision is Friday 8 November.
Staff, student and public consultation sessions have been taking place on the Gilmorehill Campus Vision project in the Welcome Point at the John McIntyre building this month. Visitors have been able to view information banners outlining some of the issues and considerations that have to be tackled as the University continues to plan what it will do with the 14 acre Western Infirmary site.
Director of Buildings and Estates, Ann Allen, said: "In January the University of Glasgow started a consultation process which sought views on the future development of our Campus. The responses we received, from staff, students and the wider public, are being used to help us shape our Estates Strategy. Now we are reporting back and also making sure that we have understood the responses we have received. We have used this feedback to help shape the Campus Vision.
"We continue to work on a number of other areas of the strategy. A particular focus is looking at space and what future research and teaching spaces should look like. We will share our thoughts in due course. We are also doing detailed work on developing proposals for the Campus infrastructure, to make sure that new buildings have the services and facilities that will meet everyone’s future needs. 
"Many staff and students will have a keen interest in thinking about moving to new or perhaps more appropriate locations. We are not yet at the stage of allocating space to specific uses but those conversations will be held once our teams have understood the bigger picture. We will be seeking opinions and advice during 2014.
"Over the next few months we will continue to develop the Estates Strategy and Campus Development Framework proposals. The views you express today will influence this. Please engage with this next stage of consultation, it really does influence our thinking."
