A 拢68m refurbishment of Glasgow鈥檚 Burrell Collection by John McAslan & Partners has been named as Scotland鈥檚 best new building by RIAS.

The scheme, the most significant refurbishment of the museum since its opening in 1983, has repaired the grade A-listed building, upgraded its environmental performance and reorganised its galleries.

The Burrell Collection is housed in a landmark late 20th century building designed by Barry Gasson, John Meunier and Brit Andresen.

Judges for the Doolan Award said they were particularly impressed by how John McAslan & Partners鈥� respectful and deferential approach had transformed the building without losing any of its architectural integrity.

RIAS president Karen Anderson added: 鈥淚鈥檓 delighted that the Burrell Collection has been named as the winner of this year鈥檚 RIAS Doolan Award. In the skilled hands of John McAslan & Partners, one of Scotland鈥檚 architectural gems has been given a new lease of life 鈥� saving the building and its incredible collection, and making the museum greener and more welcoming to its thousands of visitors. 

鈥淚t is a fantastic example of how an existing building can be adapted to address new and future needs, and is unquestionably this year鈥檚 best building in Scotland.鈥�
