Glasgow Building Preservation Trust

Glasgow Building Preservation Trust is a charity that works to rescue, repair, restore and rehabilitate historic buildings at risk across the city. We work in partnership with others to give redundant buildings a new purpose and return them to their communities.

The Trust also organises the annual Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival in September, which celebrates and promotes the city’s architecture and rich built heritage. Over 100 buildings and sites open their doors for anyone to visit, along with an extensive programme of walks, talks, tours, children’s activities and much more – all for free!

Current projects include the Rejuvenation of the West Boathouse on Glasgow Green. The West Boathouse project will repair and adapt the building to improve accessibility, upgrade facilities and provide flexible, multi-use spaces. The project also aims to change how the boathouse is used and who it is used by – embracing new audiences and encouraging people to re-engage with the River Clyde.
