Toured the building several years ago – one of my main reasons for stopping in Glasgow. Loved it! But it did seem sort of like a fire trap to me, I recall.
Wood paneling everywhere, squeaky wooden floors and stairs. But what a tragedy – especially for the students and all their work. Glad no one was hurt.

Oh, dear, this was a pilgrimage site for my late husband and me when we first visited Glasgow, so this loss for the greater world feels very personal.
