Glasgow Kelvin College is the newest of Glasgow’s three regional further education colleges, formed by the merger of John Wheatley, North Glasgow and Stow colleges in November 2013. The building in front of you used to be Stow College's West Campus from 2000 until the merger in 2013. The building was originally Garrioch School, built for the School Board of Maryhill in 1905, with a dramatic central columned window. To the south, the open land of North Kelvin Meadow had been used as sports grounds for the school, and was originally the site of a grandstand for the short-lived Kelvinside Racecourse.
