History

Architecture has been a part of the teaching at the GSA from the middle of the 19th century which was combined with the Glasgow School of Architecture at the Royal Technical College. In 1964 this arrangement was severed by the professors at the Royal Technical College and it was at this point that the Mackintosh School of Architecture was created. They taught on a part-time basis until 1968, the School boasts two of Glasgow's most notable modern architects, Andy MacMillan and Isi Metzstein of the architectural practice Gillespie, Kidd & Coia, amongst its most eminent alumni.
Since 1968, the programmes have been predominantly for full-time students, but it continues to be Scotland's only school of architecture to offer part-time mode of study.
