The project aims to transform Lilybank Gardens, which is located near Hillhead subway station, into a "student-centred hub" with modern accommodation and accessible public spaces.
The site is owned by the university but is currently used as a car park which is managed by Glasgow City Council under a lease agreement.

The proposals state that the new accommodation "aims to address the shortage of the appropriate student housing close to campus".
It says the development would support local businesses and enhance integration in the West End while also providing students with a better balance between "learning, earning and enjoying student life".
The design aims to pay homage to historic tenements and townhouses which one stood on the site and would restore key frontages to Lilybank Gardens and Great George Lane.
