GCBP looking for site funding

The Glasgow College of Building & Printing is one of five colleges in the citys centre looking for funding to redevelop their sites.

At a meeting held on 5 September each confirmed its intention to seek council funds for redevelopment.

However, Professor Tom Wilson, principal of the College of Building & Printing, said reports that the five colleges were to merge had been over-exaggerated.

Although the College of Building & Printing had suffered from shrinking numbers at the same time as the printing sector had experienced a decline, Wilson said it was ready to cope with new digital technology.

We are not going to leave what we consider to be the best site in Glasgow, he added.
