Next week sees the return of the Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival, the yearly behind the scenes look into the city’s architectural past and present, with key discussions on its future. After a fully digital 2020 programme, this year will see a mix of in-person and digital events, celebrating Glasgow, its heritage and its people.
G&T is sponsoring the festival for the sixth year running and is looking forward to attending the wide range of events on offer.
Scotland’s rich architectural history is world renowned and the preservation of the country’s historic buildings is a passion of G&T’s conservation team. In 2002 our Glasgow office appointed former Director of Glasgow Building Preservation Trust, John McGee as Cost Management Partner. As one of only a handful of RICS Certified Historic Building Professionals, John’s depth of expertise in the conservation sector brought in key arts & heritage commissions and developed a core team of highly experienced historic building specialists based in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
“Having worked for Glasgow Building Preservation Trust on the restoration of Parkhead School, The West Boathouse and Provan Hall, we are proud to be involved in sustainably preserving Glasgow’s architecture. The Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival provides a great opportunity to showcase the great work being done across the city.”Angela Coia
