St Andrew’s House and the Scottish Ambulance Service Headquarters

This research presents the history of St Andrew’s House and the Scottish Ambulance Service Headquarters that opened in 1970, design by architecture practice Skinner, Bailey & Lubetkin. The building is considered an exceptional example of the Brutalist architecture movement that developed in Britain in the post-war period, and the building is currently designated with a Category A listing by Historic Scotland. This research was commissioned by St Andrew's First Aid as part of Glasgow Doors Open 2018. A public lecture was also delivered, that gave particular focus to the main interior staircase specifically mentioned under the Category A listing, as being purportedly designed by Bernard Lubetkin
