LUC's contribution to the University of Glasgow's Western Campus expansion has been recognised with a shortlist nomination for the Inspiring Learning Spaces category at the Learning Places Scotland Awards 2024.

The University of Glasgow's Western Campus is undergoing a significant transformation, with LUC playing a key role in creating a vibrant new urban quarter.

Our landscape design has focused on creating a welcoming and accessible space that respects the historic context while also meeting the needs of modern students and staff.
