Glasgow School of Art Witness Biographies GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART WITNESS BIOGRAPHIES Ms Muriel Gray BA (Hons) FRSE Chair of the Board of Governors Muriel Gray is a graduate of GSA and worked as a professional illustrator before joining the National Museum of Antiquities in Edinburgh as assistant head of design. A full time career spanning over two decades in the media followed, from presenting many diverse network radio and television programmes, to producing and directing, and then founding her own award winning production company which grew into the largest in Scotland. She is also known as a political opinion writer in many publications and continues to contribute regularly to The Guardian. She has won several prizes for journalism including columnist of the year at the Scottish press awards. She is the author of five books, three novels and two non-fiction, and many short stories and essays. Two of her books have been shortlisted for the prestigious British Fantasy Award. She was the chair of the judges for the 2007 Orange Prize for Fiction, and serves annually on both BAFTA and the Royal Television Society Awards juries. Muriel is a former rector of Edinburgh University, the first woman to have held this post, and has been awarded honorary degrees from the University of Abertay and The Glasgow School of Art and Glasgow University. She has served as a trustee on the boards of Lomond Shores, Event Scotland, The Lighthouse, The Glasgow Science Centre, The National Maritime Museum, The Children's Parliament, and the GSA Development Trust. She is a working patron of Trees for Life, The Craighalbert Centre, and the Scottish Additional Needs Mediation Forum, and a Fellow of The Royal Society of Edinburgh. Professor Irene McAra-McWilliam MA FRSA OBE Deputy Director (Innovation) Before starting in Glasgow in September 2005, she was Professor and Business Fellow in Innovation at The Royal College of Art in London and Head of the Interaction Design Department. As Professor of Design Research at the University of Technology in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, she examined ways in which technology can enhance community and social sustainability. She was Director of Design Research at Philips Electronics in the Netherlands and was responsible for the vision and direction of Philips global Design Research portfolio in areas such as ambient intelligence, interaction design, brand design, and user experience and set up design teams in Philips Research Laboratories world- wide to contribute to the company's long term technology research and innovation strategy. As Philips representative for the European Commission's visionary research activities, she created and coordinated the EC research theme Connected Community, and directed the award-winning project Living Memory. Professor McAra-McWilliam is a frequent speaker at international conferences and is a consultant to industry and government. She has been voted one of fifty top design leaders by the UK's Design Week magazine and is an expert in design innovation and digital culture. Professor Irene McAra-McWilliam was awarded an OBE in the 2016 Queen’s New Year’s Honours, in recognition of her work in Higher Education, Innovation and Design. The award recognised the wide impact of her work at The Glasgow School of Art over many years, notably her leadership of the School of Design, the Institute for Design Innovation (now the Innovation School), the developments in the Highlands and Islands and leading on the research, learning and teaching centred on Mackintosh following the 2014 fire. Liz Davidson IHBC Hon FRIAS OBE Since graduating from Edinburgh College of Art as a post graduate in Architectural Conservation, Liz has been involved in most aspects of Scotland’s built heritage. Most recently she was head of Heritage and Design at Glasgow City Council with an active statutory role in maintaining the highest standards of historic building repair and maintenance in conjunction with encouraging the best and most inspirational designs in contemporary incursions and new development. Previous to this she led the Heritage Lottery funded Townscape Heritage programme to regenerate the Merchant City through an extensive arts led programme of building repair, repaving and lighting of main streets, proactive cultural and creative business strategy, public art commissions, street markets, and the now annual Merchant City festival. Earlier posts included that of director of Glasgow Building Preservation Trust, a charitable property developer rescuing and bringing back to life numerous historic buildings including St. Andrew’s Square Church, the Tobacco Merchants House, Wellpark Enterprise Centre and the iconic blue ‘Tardis’ police boxes, not long since threatened with an ignominious death-by-crusher. Whilst at the Trust, Liz also pioneered Doors Open Day which introduced the UK’s first free mass architectural participation event, providing access to significant modern and historic buildings and to interiors which had rarely before been glimpsed, even by their closest neighbours. A two year secondment to Historic Scotland also saw the development and launch of the multi million pound Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS) programme whereby urban areas from Whithorn to Wick have devised programmes of restoration and transformation of some of Scotland’s finest historic burghs encompassing the relearning of traditional skills, repaving of public squares and streets and meticulous conservation of key examples of the area’s architectural heritage - leading to wider economic and social regeneration for communities throughout Scotland. Previous to that, case work across Scotland for the Scottish Civic Trust has given Liz an extensive background in local vernacular architecture in addition to trustee positions on the former Historic Buildings Council for Scotland, the Architectural Heritage Fund and Strathclyde Building Preservation Trust. As former chair of the UK Association of Building Preservation Trusts Liz gained a deep insight into both those organisations which seek to raise funding and investment to maintain and restore the country’s best architectural inheritances and those organisations that wish to support these efforts through grants and loan finance. In 2010 Liz received an OBE for services to conservation and the built heritage in Scotland. THE GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART WRITTEN SUBMISSION Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Affairs Committee Meeting on 15 November 2018 Introduction: The Board of Governors and Management Executive welcome the opportunity to address Members of the Committee, as democratic representatives of the people of Scotland. This opportunity allows us to reach out to all of those affected by and concerned about the June 2018 fire in the Mackintosh Building and its impact on a Category A listed building of national and international importance, as well as to our community, staff and students. It also allows us to address the rumours, supposition and speculation circulating since the 15th June by setting out the factual position, albeit prior to the conclusions of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service investigation. We are in the midst of one of the most challenging periods in our history as we deal with this terrible event, which has shocked not only those within and connected with the School but also within the local community, Glasgow, Scotland and beyond. Our Board, management team and staff are now dealing with the daily consequences as we carry out our duties and responsibilities to our students and their educational needs. We are fully aware of the intense public interest in the situation and we have been fully engaged with that public interest since 2014 to explain our approach, our restoration intent and academic ambitions following the 2014 fire1, and we have done our very best to engage openly since the 2018 fire.2 We also have to be mindful of ongoing investigations and related statutory processes. We wish to record our gratitude to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Services whose response and assistance with the fire and its aftermath have been exemplary, for the support provided by Police Scotland and the patience and understanding of our immediate and the wider community who have been affected so badly by the fire. We are also grateful for the expertise and input of both Historic Environment Scotland and Glasgow City Council, specifically Building Control, with whom we have been working closely and collaboratively since the events of 15th June 2018, the . The Structure of the Submission: 1. To set the context for our submission, we wish to explain the functional role of The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) as a Higher Education Institution, our educational achievements and the importance of the Mackintosh Building to that educational function and to the local, creative and cultural community; 1 http://www.gsa.ac.uk/about-gsa/mackintosh-building-restoration/restoration-project-updates/ 2 http://www.gsa.ac.uk/about-gsa/key-information/mackintosh-building-fire-15-june-2018 1 2. We will then respond to the main issues already raised in evidence before the Committee: a. Is our Corporate Governance fit for purpose? b. Is our estate management fit for purpose? With particular reference to the Mackintosh Building and addressing specific points made during the Committee sessions; c. Is our Risk Management Framework fit for purpose; d. Was the procurement process for the Mackintosh Building Restoration Project fit for purpose? With particular reference to the GSA internal project management and governance arrangement; e. The lessons learnt from the 2014 fire. 3. We will then address a range of specific issues raised during the Committee hearings and in the press. The Glasgow School of Art: The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) is a Higher Education Institution3 and our core function is education. Our principal duty centres on teaching, research and knowledge exchange and that duty is underpinned by our history and shapes our future. In discharging our educational duties, we are proud of the School‟s achievements on: Diversity: We have one of the largest percentages in Scotland of students from SIMD20 postcode, the most disadvantaged people of Scotland, and we remain committed to widening participation.

Crown copyright Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS). Jewish heritage in Scotland sharman kadish The Referendum on Scottish independence in September 2014 and the sweeping gains made by the Scottish National Party in the General Election in May 2015 provided pause for thought about the relationship between the Jewish communities that live in the five territories that make up the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. On the level of semantics, we must now studiously avoid using the term “Anglo”- Jewry with reference to British Jewry because the pundits consider it outdated.1 Popular usage of the term Anglo-Jewry persists, as a glance at the Wikipedia entry on “British Jews” shows. (I leave aside the whole 1 See Nathan Abrams, Caledonian Jews: A Study of Seven Small Communities in Scotland (Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 2009), Introduction. Jewish Historical Studies, volume 47, 2015 179 180 sharman kadish debate about the reality of the “Jewish community” as opposed to a series of “communities” as beyond the scope of this investigation.) American Jews also use the term “Anglo-Jewish” to refer to themselves in the sense of “English-speaking”, while Jews from English-speaking countries who have settled in Israel call themselves “Anglos” or even “Anglo-Saxim”. Perhaps “British” Jewry should also be avoided, not least because it no longer includes “Irish” Jewry, that is the Jewish community living south of the Republican border.

  • 1 Sauchiehall Street
    Sauchiehall Street: A Great Glasgow Thoroughfare This tour tells the story of Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow’s most famous street, and its buildings. The street has been a major residential, entertainment and shopping centre since the 19th century and stretches over 1½ miles from Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the West End to Buchanan Galleries in the City Centre. At its heyday, at the turn of the last century, it would have teemed with trams, horse-drawn carts, bicycles, and pedestrians. The number and scale of buildings richly demonstrate Victorian Glasgow’s place as the ‘Second City’ of the British Empire. The important thing is to look up and enjoy the city’s architectural riches! ------------------------------------- 1. The tour begins at the junction of Sauchiehall Street and Argyle Street at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum (J. W. Simpson and E. J. Milner Allen; 1891–1901), one of Glasgow’s most popular destinations. It was the centrepiece of Glasgow’s International Exhibition in 1901 and is sited in Kelvingrove Park (1850s). The elaborate building with its towers, buttresses, corner pavilions and cupolas is Spanish Baroque in style. Notice the richly carved decorative and figurative sculpture by George Frampton, William Birnie Rhind, and McGilvray & Ferris, among others. The building’s rich red sandstone is a distinctive feature of late Victorian Glasgow, as improved production techniques and rail links provided access to quarries beyond Glasgow, notably south-west Scotland. Kelvingrove (free admission) houses one of the UK’s finest civic art collections, including work by Mackintosh and his contemporaries. 2. Walk along Sauchiehall Street past the bowling greens towards the city centre (to your left as you face away from Kelvingrove).
