The Glasgow School of Art

Remit

The Project Development Board comprises a range of internal key stakeholders who have knowledge and understanding that can help successfully shape the project vision for the Mackintosh Building. They have an important role in supporting the Project Sponsor in making decisions and providing both challenge and approval on issues affecting the project. The Project Development Board will be responsible for assisting with business case development, briefing and testing concepts presented by external consultants.

The Project Development Board will also comprise a series of work streams; these groups will have specific activities and outputs that will inform the building design and business cases.

Project Development Board members are asked to think broadly and to bring ideas from outside The Glasgow School of Art to the project as a result of visits, horizon scanning and past experience. Members will also benefit from liaison with and input from the Mackintosh Steering Group.

The Project Development Board will have oversight of the project from Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Stages 0-3.  At this stage, the Project Development Board will be reviewed and a Project Delivery Board established.
