Glasgow Metropolitan College

The preceding colleges had a reputation for the provision of courses within the food, hospitality, tourism, construction and the creative industries.

The merger and creation of Glasgow Metropolitan College created Glasgow’s biggest college with over 20,000 student enrolments and 500 members of staff.

[2] It was announced in 2008 that the College would participate in the creation of a 'super campus' to be built by 2012 and based in Glasgow city centre.

The Met Tower lay unused for several years and was dubbed "the ugliest building in the UK",[4] in part due to its prominent location overlooking George Square being utilised to display a giant pink "People Make Glasgow".

[5] It was purchased by a commercial development company (Bruntwood), and as of 2023, is undergoing refurbishment as it is repurposed as an office building.
