Burrell Collection Awarded Best Building in Scotland Award

Lodged by Pam Duncan-Glancy Standard Motion 22 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Burrell Collection on being awarded the Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award by the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland; notes that the Burrell Collection is a prominent museum in Scotland, housed in a late 20th century building; recognises that the award comes after a major refurbishment by John McAslan + Partners, which undertook the most comprehensive refurbishment of the museum since its opening in 1983; welcomes that the architecture firm repaired the grade A listed building, upgraded its environmental performance and found ways to display more of the collection, and notes that the Doolan Award judges praised the refurbishment as “an outstanding example of problem-solving and future-proofing that has rejuvenated an old friend”.
