## Resource

After a two-year legal battle, the Glasgow School of Art has settled its insurance claim following the 2018 fire that ravaged the iconic Mackintosh Building — but the payout falls far short of the now £265 million needed for full reconstruction. With the original policy outdated and costs skyrocketing, the school is using the settlement to first stabilize the damaged structure, having already spent £18 million on site clearance. Though some post-fire donations were returned, donor support remains strong. To bridge the funding gap, the school is pivoting toward a bold new vision: transforming the Mackintosh Building into the heart of a major “Creative and Cultural Production Innovation District,” partnering with institutions like the Royal Conservatoire and National Theatre to attract public and private investment and revitalize Glasgow’s cultural landscape.
