Thankfully latest news reports say 90% of the building is still viable and 70% of the contents have been protected. |

What a terrible disaster. All fires are destructive but this is something else. So sad for the students and the people of Glasgow. Thankfully no loss of life. |

The link I provided says the same, altho the pictures tell their own story. I am sure the people of Glasgow will unite in helping to bring this building back to life. |

The people of Glasgow are a proud and determined lot, they have faced many disasters and overcome them, they will overcome this one, the Rennie Mackintosh Building of the Glasgow School of Art will be restored to it's former glory. |

As this is such an iconic and beautiful building it will not be long before all the damaged areas have been restored to their full glory. |

Our library, not an old building but in the centre of the city and not that old,burned down several years ago. Lots of books, many valuable and unique, were lost as were other items stored there but we have a wonderful new library and meeting place etc called The Forum that is a central and important part of the city rebuilt now. |
