Martyrs' School, Townhead:
The school was commissioned in 1895. 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.

Alex, the building with the domed roof, is that the one I see from the Canal St. Line? What is it?

Ruchazie Primary has now been demolished I believe. When it was closed the vandals got in and flooded the whole area.
It was groovy Poodie

If you are talking about Washinton Street School you can see it from the motorway as you leave the city on the M8 heading to Paisley. It is in Washington Street which is just off Argyle Street at the western end next to the Kingston Bridge.

Sorry HH I really do need to get new glasses.
I take it you are talking about Nitshill Primary. The doom is not part of the school and is located in the Industrial Estate it is commonly known as the Nitshill Nipple. It is part of the Roads Department Depot and is the store for the winter salt. You can see one in the Gartcraig Depot as well.
