The Wolfson Centre is an academic building within the city of Glasgow, Scotland and part of the University of Strathclyde's John Anderson Campus.
The structure, completed in 1972 houses the Department of Biomedical Engineering, and is a celebrated example of Brutalist architecture within the city,[1] and is protected as a Grade B listed building.
The architect Robert Matthew was appointed oversee a masterplan for the area rezoned for educational use by Glasgow Corporation east of Montrose Street, which was undergoing slum clearance as part of the Townhead Comprehensive Development Area (CDA).
The building was granted Grade B listed status by Historic Scotland on 4 September 2012 [2] on account of it being "well-detailed and little-altered example of a post-war Modernist educational building by one of Scotland's most eminent architectural practices".
In 2021, the university completed a £15m refurbishment of the building,[3][4] conducted by Keir Construction which saw the exterior restored, refurbished laboratory and office spaces and a fire escape stairway built on the southern side to update the building's fire safety compliance.
