Glasgow School of Art says it cannot afford to restore fire-damaged Mackintosh building

The Glasgow School of Art has announced that it does not have enough money to restore its iconic Mackintosh building, which was severely damaged by fire. The building, designed by renowned architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, was hit by two fires in recent years. The school had previously stated that it was committed to faithfully reinstating the building. However, officials now say the cost of restoration is too high, and they are exploring other options for the site. The school's leadership expressed disappointment but emphasized the need to make practical decisions given the financial challenges. The future of the building remains uncertain, and discussions with stakeholders are ongoing. The Mackintosh building was a major tourist attraction and a symbol of Glasgow's cultural heritage. Its loss has been deeply felt by the community.
