Livingstone Tower, Skyscraper in Glasgow, United Kingdom
Livingstone Tower is a 15-story skyscraper in Glasgow with reinforced concrete construction and dark green glass panels framed in orange metal. The building houses departments of the University of Strathclyde and contains four elevators plus two basement parking levels.
Construction began in April 1962 on a site previously occupied by residential buildings and a church in the Townhead area. The tower's completion marked a major expansion of Strathclyde's academic facilities.
The tower honors David Livingstone, the physician and explorer who trained at Anderson's College medical school in Glasgow. This naming reflects the city's connection to his legacy in medicine and exploration.
The tower is easily accessible via four modern elevators, and visitors can take advantage of convenient underground parking nearby. Its central location in Glasgow makes it well-served by public transportation.
The tower houses specialized departments including Computer Sciences, Mathematics, Statistics, and the Business School of the university. This concentration of technical and business disciplines makes it a hub for research and academic study.
