University of Strathclyde

Founded in 1796 as “the Place of Useful Learning”, Strathclyde is a leading international technological university in the heart of Glasgow, proud winner of the Times Higher Education’s University of the Year 2019, The Sunday Times Good University Guide’s Scottish University of the Year 2020, and shortlisted for University of the Year in 2021.

Strathclyde’s campus is compact and modern.  From the red sandstone of Royal College to the steel and glass of the Strathclyde Business School, it offers a variety of lecture theatres and seminar rooms during Easter and summer vacations.  The neo-gothic Victorian grandeur of our Barony Hall is a spectacular contrast to the clean lines of the Technology & Innovation Centre, and a stunning backdrop for dining, hospitality and weddings. The newly built £60 million Learning and Teaching building adds another suite of meeting rooms in the heart of the city centre. The tranquillity of Rottenrow Gardens – on the site of the city’s former Maternity Hospital – and the Centre for Sport & Recreation, meanwhile, offer delegates a chance to relax and unwind after a long day in conference.

Our friendly and experienced team is on hand to help you make the most of our facilities, working with you from enquiry to delivery to ensure that your delegates have the very best experience. Our in-house catering team has designed a varied collection to complement your event - whether morning coffee in a meeting room or a gala dinner in the Barony – and we’ll happily work on bespoke options to delight your delegates.
