Graham Hills Building
The Graham Hills Building is part of Strathclyde University's John Anderson Campus, located in Glasgow, Scotland. The structure was first opened to the public in 1959 under the name of "Marland House", and at the time it was owned by the General Post Office. It wouldn't be known as Graham Hills until 1987, after it was acquired from British Telecom by the organization of the University. It was named after the University's principal at the time, Sir Graham Hills. It is built between George Street and Richmond Street, and serves as one of the main lecture hall buildings in the campus (and will keep on doing so until 2018, when Strathclyde will go through with its vacating plans). Graham Hills is also one of the primary connections between the lower side buildings of the campus and the ones on the top of the hill.
==History of Graham Hills==
The building of Graham Hills was first opened in 1959 by Post Office Telephones under the name of Marland House after two years of construction. The name Marland House was derived from a pub known as Marland Bar, which used to stand on the site prior to the slum clearances of the 1950’s. The building was mainly occupied and used by the engineering teams of the organisation, however, people could still pop up to pay their bills at any given time for a few years.
After BT came into being, it started disposing itself of all the old buildings it had inherited from GPO; the plan included Graham Hills. It was then that Strathclyde University pressed forward and acquired the building from BT in order to turn it into an academic building. Reconstruction took almost ten years to complete, and the structure was henceforth renamed as Graham Hills, after the (then) Principal Sir Graham Hills who made the plan possible.
Since then it has been hosting hundreds of students every day across its multiple lecture halls, although it has been revealed the University plans to vacate it by 2018.
