Gorbals Library, Glasgow
Project value: £1m
THE PROJECT: Fit out of shell unit at Crown Street, Gorbals to provide new public library facility for culture and leisure services department of Glasgow City Council.
OUR BRIEF: To work with Curious Oranj, the interior designer appointed by the Client, to create a library for the 21st Century that would ‘wow’ users and attract people to use the facilities who might not otherwise do so.
THE RESULT: Headed by directors Tom Crombie (architects) and Colin Dair (quantity surveyors), CRGP Limited provided architectural, quantity surveying and planning supervision services for this project.
CRGP were required to bring imagination plus realism to the project to ensure that while an exciting project was delivered it was done so within the Client’s budget and was operationally efficient and could readily accommodate future changes, particularly in respect of the considerable IT provision within the library.
