Aecom has been given the OK for its masterplan to redevelop a former hospital in Glasgow.
The Western Infirmary site 鈥� which was shut 18 months ago apart from a minor injuries unit 鈥� will be turned into new teaching, learning and research facilities for Glasgow university and is part of a wider 拢1 billion investment plan that includes refurbishing and improving the rest of its estate.

The second phase is expected to start in 2023 and will deliver new teaching and research space for engineering, an innovation quarter and a building for research into chronic diseases.
