Description
Jordanhill Training College, located at 45 Chamberlain Road in Glasgow, is a three-storey school building designed by Honeyman, Keppie and Mackintosh in 1913. The building has a symmetrical U-plan and features a main front with 21 bays arranged in a pattern of 1-8-1-11-1-8-1, with the centre and end bays slightly advanced. The upper courses are made of polished red sandstone, while the base course is bull-faced, and there are rusticated quoins at the corners.
At the centre, there is a semi-circular porch supported by Roman Doric columns, which holds a dentil cornice and a deep parapet. The porch features a depressed arch doorway with double-leaf panelled doors, and the inner door has a fanlight. Flanking the porch are two bays with pilastrade and a cornice.
All windows are square-headed and fitted with metal frame pivots and a six-pane glazing pattern. On the inner 13 bays, the first-floor windows have raised margins, bracketed cills, and lintels. The first and tenth bays are blind on the second floor, adorned with moulded detail and a cartouche. There is a band course above the ground and first floors, along with a moulded band at lintel level between the second-floor windows and a mutule main cornice at the central block. The lower sections feature a deep parapet over the first floor and four-pane dormer windows set into the roof. The piended slate roofs include a central square-plan cupola with Ionic pilasters at the corners.
The flanking sections are two-storey and have a similar design, with a central corniced entrance. The rear elevation includes four-bay advanced pavilions, with the central block featuring windows that are either round-arched or square-headed and arranged in pairs. The second-floor windows are full height and include rooflights for the art studio. The internal layout consists of a central corridor and two well-stairs.
Additionally, there is a lodge that is a tall single-storey and attic rectangular plan. It has a red sandstone base and band course, is harled with a bold timber cornice, and has a slate roof with a central stack.
The gatepiers and quadrant walls are channelled and corniced, with shaped caps supported on corner blocks, and feature wrought iron gates along with channelled quadrant walls.
