Watkin Jones sign up to Collegelands
June 22 2010
The former railway sidings have lain disused for a quarter century but enabling works are currently underway to allow construction of a multi storey car park, office block and 200 bed hotel in addition to the student residences.
A green pedestrian corridor will bisect the huge site with a canal, feature fountains and garden areas paralleling the Drumgelloch rail line.
With funding secured the scheme is likely to progress quickly, with completion of first phase works anticipated to occur in Autumn 2011.

I think the area will need crossrail to survive!if not the city union line should be turned over to light rail.Most cities would die for the infrastructure Glasgow has in place.
