St Enoch Centre : Shopping Centre

Address: St Enoch Square, 55 St Enoch Square, Glasgow Contact: 0141 204 3900 Date: 1986 Architect: Reiach and Hall Architects with GMW St Enoch Shopping Centre - Building PR from Reiach and Hall Architects Reiach and Hall were architects with GMW Partnership for this innovative shopping centre containing 75 unit shops, two major space users, a food court, ice rink, merchandising area and parking for 750 cars. The building uses a solar-passive approach which enables the enclosed volume to act as a buffer between the conditioned environment of the shops and the outside, while also providing an open and airy interior.

The St Enoch Hotel was built over the railway station entrance; it closed in 1974. Glasgow & South Western Railway Company used St Enoch Station from 1876 until the early Seventies. St Enoch Square dates from 1783 and is currently (2004) rather down at heel and includes a Metro station dating from 1896. This area, at the ‘bottom’ of Buchanan Street, between the Clyde [link] and Argyle Street, is due for renewal. See the adjacent Custom House Quay [link] site. The St Enoch Shopping Centre was built on the site of the station and hotel in 1985. St Enoch Church on the south side of the square was demolished in 1925.
