Met Tower
Glasgow City, United Kingdom
The Met Tower is a prominent high rise building in Glasgow, Scotland, and was the main building of the former Glasgow Metropolitan College. It originally opened in 1964 as the Stow College of Building, and for most of its life has been known as the Glasgow College of Building and Printing. Its official address is 60 North Hanover Street. The 14-storey structure is a major landmark in Glasgow city centre, overlooking George Square, and is one of the city's celebrated Modernist buildings. Its distinctive roof structures were directly influenced by Le Corbusier's famous La Cité Radieuse block in Marseille. It currently holds Grade-B listed status, and as of 2025 is owned by the property company Vita Group after an aborted plan to convert the building into an office block by Bruntwood SciTech.
