New Maggie's Centre Glasgow - News Jan 2008
OMA’s Rem Koolhaas to design Maggies Gartnavel. This is stunning news as Rem is one of the most celebrated architects in the world. Charles Jencks has through Maggies Centre patronage now managed to bring 3 of the world’s greatest architects to Scotland: Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid and now Rem Koolhaas. All 3 have had very little built in Britain. Gehry has a project in Brighton and Hadid has the Transport Museum but in both cases their Scottish Maggies Centre was their 1st UK building. Rem Koolhaas has some projects in London but (apart from a temporary pavilion) similarly has not yet built in the UK.

Gartnavel Centre is close to the Beatson Centre with its oncology department

Maggies Cancer Care Centres
Half of the visitors simply drop by for conversation and information. Its success is such that an ambitious building programme is currently under way, with centres by various big-name architects around the country - from Frank Gehry in Dundee, to Daniel Libeskind in Cambridge, Page and Park in Glasgow and Inverness to Zaha Hadid in Kirkcaldy.
