Livingstone Tower

United Kingdom

The 1019th tallest building in the world

m

The Livingstone Tower is a prominent high rise building in Glasgow, Scotland and is a part of the University of Strathclyde's John Anderson Campus. The building was named after David Livingstone. The address of the building is 26 Richmond Street, Glasgow. The building is the tallest structure on the John Anderson Campus, and is a notable landmark in the eastern side of the city centre, and its high position on the drumlin of Rottenrow means it can be seen from some considerable distance throughout the city's East End. It is one of a cluster of high-rise buildings to be constructed in the centre of Glasgow during the early 1960s; the others being St Andrew House (1964), Fleming House (1961), the Royal Stuart Hotel (1963) – and the nearby Glasgow College of Building and Printing (1964), with which it shares many design and engineering similarities.
