## Resource

The Glasgow School of Art faces a monumental financial hurdle in restoring its beloved Mackintosh Building after two devastating fires, with reconstruction now estimated at £265 million — far beyond their means. With insurance payouts falling short, the school is pivoting from a full, faithful rebuild to a bold new vision: transforming the site into a cultural innovation hub. Critics decry the shift as a betrayal of heritage, while the school seeks massive public and private investment to preserve the landmark’s soul — even if it means abandoning an exact replica.
