The University of Glasgow has partnered with a Plenary‑led consortium — including Plenary Group as developer and investor, Royal London Asset Management as senior debt provider, and Arlington Collegiate UK as the student accommodation operator — to deliver the next phase of its £180 million (US$242 million) Campus Development programme on Church Street in the West End of Glasgow, Scotland, UK.

The development will create high-quality residential accommodation for students and an opportunity for two purpose-built Innovation Hubs, designed to support spin-ins, spin-outs, start-ups and the commercialisation of the University of Glasgow’s world-leading research. Glasgow City Council has granted planning approval for the first three projects, which include a student residence and an Innovation Hub providing dry lab and office space.

The Church Street programme continues over a decade of investment in modern facilities and the creation of a cohesive urban environment across the University of Glasgow’s Gilmorehill campus. To date, the Campus Development programme has delivered four significant new buildings: the James McCune Smith Learning Hub, the Mazumdar Shaw Advanced Research Centre, the Clarice Pears Building, and the Adam Smith Business School building. It is currently also constructing the £300 million (US$403 million) Keystone building, which, when open in 2028, will become the second largest building on-campus, after the Gilbert Scott building.
