Gilmorehill G12

Our building was originally known as the Anderson Free Church, built in 1877. The architect was locally renowned James Sellars, who had made his first impression with his winning design of the Stewart Memorial fountain in Kelvingrove Park, which still exists today.

Sellars was influenced by fellow Glasgow architect Alexander "Greek" Thompson as well as other Neo styles of the time - most notably In the Norman Gothic syle visible in the archways of the building.

In the 1950's, the University of Glasgow came into ownership of the building when it was used as an exam and, later, a gym hall.

In 1997, the combined funding from Scottish Arts Council Lottery Fund and the Gifted Seats Scheme, the University began the project to develop the building into the Gilmorehill G12 Centre, which was to house the Film, Television and Theatre Department along with a functioning Theatre, Cinema and conference centre.

The department of Film, Television and Theatre is home to thirty members of staff and over four hundred students
