The established local architectural firm Honeyman & Keppie was given the brief of providing a school to house between 900 and 1000 'scholars'. In the twenty years since the Education Act, a convention had been established for the layout of new Glasgow schools, and Martyrs' was expected to follow it: schools were to be symmetrical, with classrooms surrounding a central communal space and separate entrances and staircases for boys and girls. The school has three storeys plus a basement. The basement contained a darkroom, workshop, staff changing room, and heating plant with air ducts and a fuel store. On the ground floor, the drill hall was in the centre, with dressing rooms and four classrooms leading off it. There were five classrooms on both the first and second floors, linked on each floor by a balcony around the space created by the central hall. In addition, there was a headmasters' study, staff room janitors' room, book storage are and medical room, and cloakrooms on each floor. The internal walls contained the ventilation and heating ducts. The completed building cost £9,630, which was within the budget of £10,000 allocated for it. When the school was built, it sat among rows of four-story tenements, which have long since been demolished. _________________ Flickr Pics Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         urbanglasgow.co.uk Forum Index -> Photography All times are GMT Goto page 1, 2, 3, 4  Next Page 1 of 4   Jump to: Select a forum Forum stuff----------------Want to join?Forum IssuesArchived events The Urban Glasgow Collection----------------The Urban Glasgow CollectionThe Andrew Charles Paul Collection Glasgow Urban Exploration----------------Urban adventuresGlasgow from the pastGlasgow development or demolitionPhotography Glasgow Stuff----------------Something happening?Been somewhere good?Random rubbish Around the UK and Overseas----------------Wannabe Glasgow bitsThe Universe and beyond the infinite  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Card File  Gallery  Forum Archive Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group and a bunch of camp hockey players...
