This building, designed by famous Scottish railway architect James Miller, opened in 1904 as the HQ of the North British Locomotive Company who had the largest locomotive works in Europe at that time. The works finally closed in 1961, NBLC having failed to make a successful transition from steam to diesel power. The building was bought by Glasgow Corporation and has served as a college under various different names until the present day North Glasgow College moved out in 2009.
