Calls to save historic Glasgow building facing demolition to make way for student accommodation

Plans to demolish part of a city centre building dating back to 1935 in favour of student flats have been described as a 'travesty'.

Developers are looking to flatten the former Marks & Spencer building on Sauchiehall Street and replace it with mixed-use student accommodation with a rooftop terrace and garden.

The store was a popular fixture on the shopping street for nearly nine decades having first opened in 1935 and was regarded as one of the city's oldest M&S stores. The art deco building was designed by famous architect Robert Lutyens.
