Built as the #printing works for the #Glasgow Herald. In 2018/19 we had an exhibition there about the history of Glasgow's printing industry
The Mackintosh-designed Glasgow Herald building (1895) most recently known as The Glasgow Lighthouse will likely become a "net zero innovation hub".
Glasgow City Council will make repairs of £2m. Future public access arrangements remain unclear.
