The Glasgow School of Art has selected a team led by local architect Page\Park for the restoration of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh masterpiece that was damaged in a fire last year.
Close to one year after the Mackintosh Building at GSA was "bruised and battered but most certainly not destroyed" when a fire spread following an exploding projector in the school's basement, the school selected Page\Park Architects of Glasgow based on their "extensive track record in both restoring and reinvigorating major historic buildings," per a statement from the GSA. These historic buildings include those designed by Mackintosh, including Hill House, the Lighthouse in Glasgow, and work on the School of Art itself.
Professor Tom Inns, Director of The Glasgow School of Art, is quoted in the statement:
Page\Park indicated they will establish an external expert advisory panel for the restoration, the details of which are not yet known. Per the GSA's statement, "Work is expected to start on the building in spring 2016 with the aspiration that there will be academic access from 2017-18."
Page\Park bested the four other finalists, made up of Avanti Architects, John McAslan + Partners, LDN Architects, and Purcell.
