DESCRIPTION
student accommodationTRANSCRIPT
The Central College of Commerce was estab-lished in 1963 and serves as one of Scotland’s few specialist colleges. It currently has around 2300 full time students and 6000 part-time students as well as 500 staff. The campus is comprised of three buildings and the Charles Oakley building on cathe-dral street currently teaches hairdressing and health and beauty courses.
Central College is now merging with two other city centre colleges - Metro-politan and Nautical - to form a “super campus” which will be the largest in Scotland and one of the biggest in the UK. The £300m super campus will be built on Cathedral Street and Thistle Street. A specialist company,
New Campus Glasgow, was established to oversee the merger, the campus is expected to be completed by 2016 and accommodate about 2000 staff and 50,000 students. The merger will see the colleges become an international provider of higher education and combine a technologically rich and people focused super campus for Glasgow.
The new campus will see large amounts of regen-eration to this educational quarter of Glasgow. The Charles Oakley building and its larger neighbor The College of Building and Printing will be emptied or disposed of once the new campus is complete. Their future is unclear at present but this brief proposes that the Charles Oakley building is adapted and
improved to continue serving the college as a student halls of residence. From a sustainable and economic perspective accommodation presents a viable option that can save a building that is an important component in Glasgow’s city-scape. Its rooftop structure makes stylistic references to Le Corbusier’s l’Unite d’Habitation or ‘living unit’, built in Marseille as a solution to the shortage of housing after WWII. It held utopian aspirations for mass housing becoming Le Corbusier’s model for a ‘machine for living’., whereby one would move in with a suitcase and start to live in an environment that catered for all needs. It seems fitting that the Charles oakley building becomes a building to house the itinerant community of students.

The roof structure continues to serve the building as a space for recreation, a badminton court by day and a bar in the evenings. The bar spills out into the badminton space through movable walls, opening the space for socialising and student events. The new structure forms a mezzanine and seating around the court. Outside is a roof terrace with views across Glasgow.

PLAN DIAGRAM: OPERABLE WALLS (OPEN)
Even though the new structure divides the large open volume, it offers new and interesting routes and views within the space.
BAR
The cantilevered panels are set within a steel frame, a pivoting mechanism, attached to the fixed wall, allows them to be rotated and then locked in place. This is then released easily and the panels become part of the facade again.
