The council has appointed O’DonnellBrown architects to develop a concept design for the site until a permanent building is constructed.

The proposals could feature commercial and cultural uses, temporary structures and installations.

O’DonnellBrown director Jennifer O’Donnell said the firm was aiming to “develop an approach that reflects the site’s importance within Glasgow’s city centre”.

Stuart Patrick, chief executive of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, said that bringing the site back into use would “help improve the appearance and vibrancy of a key location that attracts significant footfall”.

He added: “While this is an important step forward, we look forward to seeing continued momentum towards a long-term solution that realises the full potential of this prominent site.”

David Cook, chief executive of Glasgow Building Preservation Trust, said: “The long-term solution will inevitably take time due to the complexities and multiple ownerships, so getting life back into this vital part of the city centre before that will be welcomed by all Glaswegians.”
