The art school managing the Mackintosh Building says additional money is required to reinstate the building after it was severely damaged by fire. The blaze occurred in June 2018, when restoration work was already under way. That restoration followed an earlier fire in 2014, which had damaged the building and prompted rebuilding efforts. Sources report that the 2018 fire left the structure in a condition that cannot be fully addressed within existing restoration provisions, meaning further funding is needed to complete reinstatement work. The school’s statement highlights the impact of the repeated incidents on the ongoing project timetable and costs, describing the 2018 damage as occurring toward the end of the post-2014 restoration period. Overall, reporting across outlets frames the situation as a continuation of the building’s recovery process, with reinstatement now dependent on securing additional resources to carry out repairs and restore the building for its intended use.
