With the proceeds of the sale of its original city-centre site to a railway company, the University of Glasgow moved to a magnificent neo-gothic new building at Gilmorehill in 1870. The history of the University in this new location then developed in conjunction with the evolution of the City of Glasgow, the Second City of the Empire, until both suffered the privations of two world wars and the long dislocation of the local economy from the 1920s. After the Second World War, the State ever more powerfully shaped the fortunes of the University, which expanded considerably in size. The current strong links with industry and the economy through research, innovation and technology transfer emphasise the continuing importance of the University’s economic, cultural and social role within the life of the City.
