Sir Alexander Stone Building, Gilmorehill Campus Building D5, 16 University Gardens, University Of Glasgow

The Sir Alexander Stone Building, located at the Gilmorehill Campus of the University of Glasgow, was designed by W N W Ramsay and constructed between 1953 and 1959. This building showcases a Scandinavian Modernist style with U-plan ranges that provide office and teaching accommodation, along with a single-storey lecture theatre that fills the 'U' shape. It consists of three and four storeys, plus a basement, and is faced with polished blonde sandstone, while the basement and vertical features, including the stairtower and window bay, are made of bull-faced sandstone. The windows feature recessed architraves.

On the south elevation, which serves as the entrance, there are eight bays, with the entrance spanning two bays on the outer left. The entrance stairs have a gently splayed concrete parapet, and there is a panel of polished black granite to the right of the doorway. To the left of the doorway, there is a curved window, and the entrance is marked by glazed two-leaf doors. Above the entrance, there is a copper and bronze sculpture titled 'Knowledge & Inspiration' by Walter Pritchard, created in 1959. The west elevation features three angled windows at the ground floor of the south range and an eleven-bay west range with a strip window at the top floor. The north elevation has an advanced stairtower on the west range and regular fenestration on the five-bay north range.

Inside, the ground floor contains a pitched-roofed lecture theatre, while the taller surrounding ranges have regular fenestration and five projecting windows at the top floor of the west range. The windows throughout the building are timber fixed-pane and casement types, and the roofs are flat with parapets and overhanging coping.

The interior, as seen in 2010, features good period details in the foyer and staircase, including a stone-faced wall in the entrance hall, a staircase with narrow steel balusters and a timber handrail, hardwood glazed and solid doors, and some original signage.
