Situated opposite Glasgow Green and on the edge of the Merchant City, Glasgow's arts quarter, the former Our Lady and St Francis Secondary School is ideally located between the East End and City Centre.

Glasgow has an established reputation for creativity, the proposal is to give people who don't have access to the necessary facilities the opportunity to participate in and learn about digital media, music and the arts. Levels of participation may vary from using studio space for individual projects to taking training courses.

As the building sits on the periphery of the arts quarter the client group is also on the periphery of more established media and arts institutes.

The building has both horizontal and vertical elements which have been fundamental to how the schedule of accommodation is arranged. The three storey tower houses the majority of the work spaces, arts and music facilities and digital training suites. The main social areas, bar, exhibition space and auditorium, are located in the basement and ground floor.

The building will allow the wider community to engage with all aspects of creativity on their own terms in an inspiring and evocative space.
