Summary
The Glasgow School of Art’s Mackintosh Building, iconic and now partially destroyed by fire, faces a costly and complex future. Originally projected as a $265 million full restoration — five times the school’s annual income — the plan has shifted to a phased stabilization approach, with work set to begin next summer. Rising construction costs, economic pressures, and a recent insurance settlement have reshaped the strategy. While the school seeks government and private partnerships to fund the next steps, critics call the partial rebuild a betrayal of heritage. The board insists this is the only financially viable path forward, with hopes for eventual full restoration — but no timeline yet. The building remains unusable, and its future hangs in the balance.
