History
editThe Glasgow Dental School was formed as part of Anderson's College in 1879.[1] It moved to Dalhousie Street in 1903.[1]
The current hospital is a category B listed Art Deco building with its entrance on Renfrew Street, which was designed by Wylie, Wright and Wylie and completed in 1931;[2] in 1928 a football tournament was held between the local teams explicitly to raise funds for its construction, won by Partick Thistle and providing £819 (equivalent to around £50,000 90 years later).[3][4] The Dental School began issuing the Bachelor of Dental Surgery Degree of the University of Glasgow in 1948.[5]
A large extension fronting Sauchiehall Street was completed in the brutalist style by Melville Dundas & Whitson in 1970.[6] The Glasgow Dental Education Centre, which is located adjacent to the Dental School, provides post-graduate and distance dental education.[7]
