University of Glasgow to switch staff from city centre after taking on Finnieston offices

The University of Glasgow has taken a lease on Pavilions 3 & 4 of Berkeley Square in Glasgow’s Finnieston district.

The university is to move into 30,740 sq ft at the office complex on Berkeley Street from its offices in the Herald building at 200 Renfield Street in the city centre. The university's Social and Public Health Sciences Unit is one of the departments based there.

It said it forms part of the Campus Vision strategy bringing staff closer to the main campus in Hillhead. It also has offices nearby at Tay House on Bath Street, where University Services are based.

Ian Campbell, executive director of estates at the University of Glasgow, said: “Berkeley Square offers high quality office space close to our main campus in the west end of the city.

“It will accommodate researchers and staff from across University Services, allowing us to support the world-class learning, teaching and research at the University of Glasgow.”

Martin Speirs, Associate at letting agent Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Berkeley Square offers fantastic office space in an ideal location for the University.The nearby Finnieston district has become a hugely desirable location to not only live and socialise but also work in, and so naturally occupiers see this vibrant area as a great location for their businesses to thrive in."
